Verdict
Placed here in the spring, Tara Niece quickly reverts to hurdles after unseating her rider at the first over fences at Worcester. She has solid place claims but has to give 9lb, including riders’ allowances, to DYNAMIC KATE who bolted up over course and distance before finishing well ahead of a subsequent winner when second over further at Worcester. Sweet Moon makes her handicap debut and may prove best of the rest.
