Great Trango has been alternating between the Flat and hurdles and though still a maiden hasn't been beaten far in any of his recent races so should give a good account. TALE OF WOE followed a reasonable debut with a narrow defeat on heavy ground at Navan and with further progress likely will take some beating. Minnie Dahill won over hurdles in September while Warnaq looked as though this trip was certain to suit when staying on over 1m1f at Gowran. It's a year since Bruinneall last ran but wouldn't still be with Jim Bolger unless thought capable of earning her keep.
