Gordon Elliott's lightly-raced CHER TARA may well have more to offer over this longer trip and she can follow up her recent Down Royal success. Coco Lightning shaped encouragingly on debut for this yard and is worth another chance after disappointing last time, while Seskin Flash looks interesting stepping back up in distance having been well supported on stable debut.
