Verdict

A chance is taken here on Jonjo O'Neill's PAPA TANGO CHARLY despite a slightly underwhelming Rules debut in a Worcester bumper. Point recruits costing £440,000 are expected to be Gold Cup horses and while that is highly fanciful at this stage, surely this impressive Liscarroll scorer can make a big step forward now over hurdles and upped in trip. Nicky Henderson duo Igor and Fred look the biggest dangers with marginal preference for the former whose course experience has to be a plus.
