      Verdict

      Tango Banbou has won over fences in France and makes his debut for Willie Mullins but it's stablemate BISHOPSFURZE who should have the call this time. A very useful bumper who won a Listed contest over hurdles here a year ago, he he beat the useful pair Jim Will Fix It and Rathlin on his chasing bow at Thurles and was in front when falling at the second last on a return visit last month. That form looks just too good for Action Master, whose debut chasing victory came over 2m4f at Kilbeggan and who may be taken off his feet over this trip. Friendly Society gained a surprise winner at around this trip at Limerick before finding 2m5f too far at Fairyhouse.
