TARA ROSE made all here recently to post a winning return after over a year off and will probably set out to replicate those tactics. She is taken to do so successfully in the hope she is not subject to the bounce factor as she showed a resilient and pleasing attitude to her work. Barton Stacey just prevailed on his bumper debut and should improve again, whilst Shades Of Autumn did enough on debut to suggest competitiveness at this level. The market should guide as to the chances of Lough Derg Way, a successful pointer, whilst Rysbrack and Rocky Raccoon are respected as their yards have above average records in these contests. The former looks especially interesting on paper.
