TANGO KNIGHT has gradually improved and it was by less than a length that he succumbed to Millrock Lady over 2m6f here last month. The shorter trip is no problem and this is his chance. Winning bumper horse Soldier Bay was beaten just a head by the high-class Pittoni on heavy ground at Punchestown in December but was a dozen lengths behind that winner when they met in the Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown in February and hasn't been seen since. Fleeting Moment steps up to this trip for the first time but he's still a maiden after 32 career starts and isn't difficult to overlook. Belville View showed promise in bumpers and made a fair start over timber behind Cooper's Crest at Limerick.
