Verdict

TANGO FOXTROT has won half-a-dozen times on the flat but incredibly is still a maiden after 18 starts over timber. His second to Some Present at Punchestown on his penultimate run in October is easily the best form on view here and he won't get many better opportunities. Point-to-point winner Knowledge Box has produced a couple of smart performances over timber and didn't run badly behind Pay The Bounty at Cork a month ago and though Lady Chimera hasn't run for over a year and is making her hurdling bow she very nearly won at the first time of asking in a Dundalk bumper and shouldn't lack fitness. Mr Dazza showed a little promise last summer but has run poorly on his two most recent starts.
