TUDOR CITY has been running excellent races in some top handicaps to finish second on his last three starts, this represents a significantly more straightforward assignment and it will be a shock if he doesn't prove up to winning now. Broken Soul has had his fair share of chances and the manner in which he downed tools under pressure at Gowran Park last time out must be a big worry for his supporters. Agent Boru has hinted at ability and may well run into a place here. Wherehaveyoubeen rates as an interesting newcomer worth a market check while the recent form of Shamash on AW means he too could have place claims now tackling hurdles once more.
