14/1

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 12/1) 24 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor, but he's useful and he's dangerous to discount off an appealing mark.

TUDOR CITY misfired in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last month, but he landed a big-field handicap on the Flat here in October and will have every chance off this reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward. Call Me Lyreen went agonisingly close at the Punchestown Festival last season and a reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture, while Surprise Package also has claims.
