Some potentially useful mares face the starter here but few will want to oppose TARA POINT after her brave run behind Vyta Du Roc and Shantou Bob in a Grade 2 at Sandown earlier this month. She appears to have the beating of The Govaness on the form book and should also have too much for recent winners Rose Of The World and Faerie Reel. McCoy rode the latter at Southwell but gets off her to partner last year's fourth Dolores Delightful, who is returning from a break. Dusky Legend was just touched off on her hurdles bow at Towcester and has plenty of scope and Tara Mist was also a useful performer in bumpers last season and made a winning start over timber at Ludlow. The latter pair will win their fair share over the next few months while Pitter Patter could be another to follow.
