In depth
Verdict
TANGO DE JUILLEY was no match for the odds-on Cat Tiger here 10 days ago but should go one better in this against lesser rivals. Clondaw Westie, a winner over 2m4f here earlier in his career, could find this too short having finished sixth over 3m2f at Musselburgh last month and Guttural has yet to win a race of any description, though did show some ability when trained in Ireland.
