Verdict
NO NO TANGO made light of a 13-month absence to justify strong support in good style starting out for this yard at Wincanton 6 weeks ago and shades the vote over Margaret's Legacy, who also landed a gamble for a new stable when making a winning comeback at Southwell. Ned Tanner responded well to headgear/tongue strap when taking advantage of his reduced mark over C&D late last month and is best of the others.

VerdictBumper winner who was winless over hurdles but decent start over larger obstacles, off the mark at Uttoxeter 18 days ago. Margin of victory that day probably flatters him, however, so more needed to defy 10 lb rise.- 5. Ned TannerJ: Sean QuinlanT: N. W. AlexanderF: U3F32-451
