Verdict

Don McCain's Jim Tango disappointed at Bangor on Tuesday evening and looks best watched following that performance in a race taken to go to TANKS FOR THAT, who gets the vote with Quito Du Tresor rated the best of the rest. The selection did not run up to the form that he is capable of in the Jewson at the Cheltenham Festival or at Ayr subsequently but he ran much better in a valuable event at Stratford last month and he looks worth siding with following that outing. Smack That is hard to recommend on his British debut having been well held in recent starts in Ireland and of more interest may be Kikos, who unseated at Stratford last month but had won well at Uttoxeter the time before. Lucinda Russell's Quito Du Tresor looked held before being left in the lead at the last when successful here last month and he may struggle to follow up off a 2lb higher mark today so preference is for Tanks For That, who showed a return to form last time and can he resume winning ways.
