TANGOLAN's victory here last month came over fences but he has shown plenty of ability over hurdles and must be fancied to get the better of Father Edward, who is in form but has to shoulder a double penalty. Little Windmill was soon beaten at Stratford during the week but still makes more appeal than Alys Rock and the others.
