TARA VIEW, by top NH sire Kayf Tara out of a lightly-raced jumps-bred French mare, was backed to win a Bangor bumper in May and didn't disappoint. She should be even better over hurdles and is hard to oppose in this. Happy Diva has been placed in three of her four hurdles starts to date and fell in the others. She's the obvious danger, though Evan Williams does well here and his Blue Court is unexposed. Classi Massini was second at Bangor in July but didn't repeat that form at Southwell next time.
