Formscan  - NIGHT TARA looks a likely type representing Sir Mark Prescott's yard. She has shown little in three starts over shorter trips, but the half-sister to a 1m4f winner has untapped potential over middle distances and may could prove well treated on her handicap debut. Tough and consistent, another good effort from Backer Bilk looks assured, while Al Baarez posted his best effort so far when fourth at Windsor.
