Verdict
Tango Tara came up against a decent novice at Taunton last month on his debut under Rules and finished ahead of a previous winner. He’ll be fancied to go one better here but Realm Of Glory is respected now his attention is switched to hurdling while the four-year-old Girandole has found only one too good over 2m at Exeter and Taunton. MARCO ISLAND was very green here last month but still finished a promising second and, granted normal progress, can get his head in front today.
