TANGENTAL offered little on his sole previous start over fences back in 2021 but he looked better than ever over hurdles last spring and he could be worth chancing. Indeed, the 8-y-o returns to this sphere on a potentially handy mark and should be all the better for his reappearance spin at Fairyhouse. Fox Le Bel is a much-respected main danger, while Eagle Terrace also merits respect on the back of his Down Royal success. Tramore 1-2 Rochestown and Mahler Appeal need considering, too.
