Div Ine Tara took a step forward when second at Newton Abbot six weeks ago but he is looking a little exposed. PUFFIN BAY, a half-sister to a winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland, made a pleasing start at Southwell and, though she’ll be suited by further and a set of hurdles in time, should have the pace for this. Shantou Champagne is improving with experience and Rebecca Curtis’ newcomer Splashing Wave is worth a market check.
