Verdict
Tahasun has gone well on all starts in France and the UK without getting her head in front and has twice lost out by just a neck. She'll prove competitive once again and holds Glorious Romance on their Lingfield running in April. Neandra carries a penalty for a Lingfield novice success back in January and now moves onto Turf for the first time. She's had a good break but the yard's runners rarely want for fitness. BENY NAHAR ROAD was well backed on his racecourse debut in December at Chelmsford and only failed by a neck to reward the support. That rates an excellent first run and the booking of Buick would suggest all is in place for this reappearance.
