Verdict

T FOR TANGO has fallen to a potentially lenient mark, and signalled that his turn was near when sixth in a big field at the Curragh on Monday, and he can prove another success story for Richard O'Brien. Gottardo is another who has been given a chance by the handicapper, and he appeals as a danger along with the unexposed Betsey Trotter.
