Naylor battles to Tara success Jack Naylor is being targeted at Group One company in France after a gutsy success in the Flame Of Tara EBF Stakes at the Curragh. Jessica Harrington's filly had to work hard to claim front-runner Together Forever inside the final furlong of the Listed contest. The daughter of Champs Elysees was then pressed hard in the closing stages by well backed 11/8 favourite Legatissimo (opened 7/4), who pushed her to within three-parts-of-a-length in the mile event. A trip to Longchamp on Arc day is now the plan for the winner. “She was good giving them all 5lb. Fran said she was just going through the motions and he had to chase her to join Joseph's filly (Together Forever),” said Harrington. “When David Wachman's filly (Legatissimo) came to her she then decided it was time to go! “The mile suited her well and she'll step up in class now. She won't go to the Moyglare as that's dropping back in trip. “She'll go to France for the Prix Marcel Boussac. She's very laid back and will go on soft ground which is the great thing. “She's a nice one to have.”
