Verdict
Kashtaree's good runs on the Flat were few and far between and she's probably best watched on her hurdling debut. Tara Mac must have every chance of reversing course and distance running in November with Thankyou Very Much on 6lb better terms but needs forgiving a shocking effort at Bangor subsequently. Samedi Soir should go close if improving on her third over track and trip last month but we'll give another chance to the more-exposed ALIZEE DE JANEIRO. She did a lot better when held up at Ayr at the start of the month and may handle the forecast going better than most.
