Formscan By Tom Weekes - Maiden chaser KARIA DES BLAISES fell on her latest start but is capable. Placed at Grade 3-level on chase debut in December 2024, she returned following a 304-day layoff over Christmas and, while held in second-place when falling at the final fence, that was nonetheless useful and she might progress from the run. Tahaa was pitched in at Grade 2 level when falling on chase debut, and second career outing, at Cork in December but had shown promise behind high-class rivals prior to exiting. Out of a half-sister to The New Lion, she is absence since but encouragingly is her trainer’s first-string. Tareze bumped into Jade De Grugy here last month.
