Acts on heavy; 12-race maiden in Ireland for Michael O'Meara, short-headed once in 2023; blinkered last time (June, best run this term) and now tries cheekpieces; with same owner and well down the weights, so a case can be made on this British debut. |

Verdict
There wasn’t much to separate Love Mocha and FAST TARA at Dundalk in the autumn. The latter may be able to confirm the form given that her sire’s progeny usually handle these conditions well. Vikki Wall should appreciate stepping up in trip and she might be the main danger. Etna Rossa and Neowise are two newcomers to keep a close eye on in the market. [Phill Anderson]
