Verdict
TENNESSEE TANGO chased home two talented rivals when filling third place over 2m at Chepstow in December and the strength of that form gives the six-year-old a big chance here. King Of Records was narrowly denied when runner-up at Hereford last time and he could prove to be the main danger. That said, Reteti and Answer That are others who merit consideration.
Expert View Verdict
This can go to TENNESSEE TANGO, who has taken a step forward with each of his three outings over hurdles, most recently finishing a good third at Chepstow behind an impressive scorer. The testing ground should bring his stamina into play here and he can get off the mark. King Of Records has built up a solid profile and should again go well, but runners from the yard aren't hitting at their usual strike-rate. Still, he looks the likely danger ahead of the ex-Irish Answer That, who ran well on two of three starts in bumpers and has joined a good yard ahead of this hurdles debut.
