TINGO IN THE TALE ran well on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon last month behind the progressive El Namoose. He can open his account at the main expense of Civil War. The latter was not beaten far over track and trip when last seen over hurdles and has a recent outing on the Flat under his belt. Dusky Lark was still beaten a long way when second here recently but Lord Navtis can race off a lower mark back over the smaller obstacles having won three times over fences earlier this year.
