The progressive TANGRAMM has suffered a couple of narrow-margin defeats in his last seven starts but won the other five, including over 1m4f here a fortnight ago. Already a dual course and distance winner, Dean Ivory's charge may not have finished winning yet raised only a further 3lb. Sands Chorus and Off The Pulse will probably give him plenty to think about as they both drop down a grade on the back of placed efforts while Yulong Xiongba moves in the opposite direction having been thereabouts in Class 6 company of late.
