Verdict

Despite his numerous victories on the Flat and over hurdles, Tudor City still manages to get in on the bottom rung and can never be dismissed. COEUR D'OR has won major handicaps here and at Galway in his last two starts and though raised 3lb Jake Coen has been booked with his 5lb claim so Dermot Weld's charge can go in again. He holds Crystal Black on that latter run but his regular pilot is on board the stable's Genuine Article, who didn't get the best of runs at Galway and has more to offer. Take Heart was quite impressive when beating today's rival Golden Spangle at Naas while Didn'thavemuchtodo has performed well in three Listed races this summer and her rider's claim is a massive plus. Starry Eyed has a 7lb claimer on board and the recent maiden winner will be carrying a feather weight.
