ONE LAST TANGO went up 10lb for completing a double in October but he ran really well in a better race at Leopardstown on his hat-trick bid. He'll be receiving weight from Cillians Charm with his rider's claim taken into consideration and that might prove enough to thwart the latter, who gained reward for some strong performances at Clonmel though that was on heavy ground. The four-year-old Your Honor, a dual winner on the Flat, has run a bit better than finishing positions suggest over hurdles but Henning has run very poorly since landing a Clonmel maiden. Bynx has shown nothing on ground with plenty of give in recent starts.
