Tangled has been running well this year without quite getting the breaks but the handicapper has been reluctant to ease his grip. Poet's Dawn followed up a win at Beverley with a third at Ayr and stablemate Perfect Swiss has plenty of form around here. CISCO DISCO won three times in Ireland and ran his best race so far for Richard Fahey at Ayr last month. He holds Wotever Next on that run and Oisin Orr will be able to plot a path from stall one. Gainsbourg has gone up 6lb for a recent course and distance success but can’t be ignored while Menelaus and Silver Screen remain unexposed.
