LORD CHURCH justified strong support when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick last month and, with the promise of better to come, it's unlikely that a 5 lb rise will stop him in his tracks. Masoun put in a good shift when runner-up at Fairyhouse recently and he is feared most but Timeonourside, who took a step forward when emerging on top at Gowran, also merits serious consideration. Zenato is best of the rest.
