Race preview
A comfortable winner on her debut at Lingfield (all-weather), KAY TARA TARA is a well-bred mare who should have plenty more to offer despite a 4lb penalty. Golden Ace displayed a determined attitude to get her head in front at Wincanton and she arrives with strong claims, along with point-to-point recruit Between Waters. Our Nel ran with credit at Warwick and is likely to improve, while Politacus was somewhat unlucky not to get her head in front at Uttoxeter when storming home late in the day.
