It's unlikely that we have seen the best of NIGHT TARA, who built on her narrow handicap debut success at Chelmsford when finding just one too good back there on Saturday. She gets the nod ahead of another lightly-raced 3-y-o in Opera Wave, while Mystical Maria is taken to reverse recent Redcar placings with Princess Niyla and also take a hand in the finish.
