A good looking winner on her Newcastle debut, Tara Tara has since had little chance from a bad draw at Chester before being outclassed in the Queen Mary and is taken to resume winning ways in this nursery at the main expense of Dane's Castle and Coleorton Dancer. The last mentioned had been gelded prior to his win at Thirsk last time and there may well be more to come from Kevin Ryan's youngster. Top weight Bold Minstrel overcame a poor draw when scoring at Chester two starts ago and lost no caste in defeat at Bath last time but may struggle under 9st 7lb. The David Evans-trained On The Waterline has form on a softer surface and has to be respected, along with recent Brighton winner Louphole. A bigger threat may come from Dane's Castle. Brian Meehan's horses normally improve with racing and, while still a maiden after four starts the son of Danetime has shown enough to suggest that his turn will not be far away. The booking of Frankie Dettori takes the eye but Tara Tara created a favourable impression when scoring at Newcastle and is worth another chance in this lesser company.
