SEA DUCOR was an excellent runner-up in this a year ago and looks to have been aimed at going one better having had just one run on the Flat at the Curragh in the summer. Cotteemcavennigoal is another lightly-raced type with strong credentials having just failed to reel in Easca Peasca at Navan last month with Brides Hill just behind. The four-year-old Crowns Major will be tuned up for his handicap debut over timber while Fastorslow, a winner over hurdles and fences in France, also makes his handicap bow along with Get My Drift, a maiden winner at this fixture a year ago. The veteran Tudor City can never be dismissed at this level and his rider's claim is a massive plus.
