Verdict
Green Tango is one to follow and is taken to add to his tally at the expense of Full House, King Solomon, and In The Frame. Henry Daly has his team in good shape at present, a fact emphasised by Green Tango's fluent success at Huntingdon on his last start. Beaten narrowly in a bumper here previously, the five-year-old has learnt enough since to warrant support on a track that should suit him. One of his main rivals will be Full House who made the most of a fair mark on his handicap bow at Ascot 12 days ago. However, back off levels with the selection, he may have to settle for a place only, but will certainly pay to follow when sent over fences next season. King Solomon comes from a stable bang-in-form so is another to ponder over, while Precious Mystery has scope but takes on older opposition. Koceane will probably be fit enough despite the lack of an outing but has it to do, and Mexican Rock makes his debut but comes from a powerful yard. It promises to be an informative affair, and one in which Green Tango can lead them a merry dance.
