Verdict
KARIA DES BLAISES fell on her latest start, but is capable. Placed at Grade 2 level on her chase debut in December 2024, she returned following a 304-day layoff over Christmas and although held in second when coming down at the final fence, that was nonetheless useful and she might progress from the run. Tahaa was pitched into a Grade 2 when falling on her chase debut, and second career outing, at Cork but had shown promise behind high-class rivals prior to exiting. Out of a half-sister to The New Lion, she is her trainer's first string. Tareze bumped into Jade De Grugy here last month and meets nothing of that calibre now.
Expert View Verdict
Tareze has been performing well without quite making the leap expected as a chaser. That's not to say she's not in with a real chance here though coming off her second place finish behind the smart Jade De Grugy at Thurles last month. KARIA DES BLAISES is a model of consistency, despite the fact she's yet to win as a chaser, and she was in the process of finishing an improved second when coming down late in a handicap at Limerick last time. Provided she's over that then she can get off the mark. The Great Nudie is next best on this drop in trip against easier opposition than she faced last time.
