Last year's Galway Hurdle winner Tudor City couldn't repeat that performance on Thursday but didn't run badly and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. War Diary came into the race a year ago on the back of two victories and finished fourth. He had a warm-up at Cork last month and looks certain to go well. PRINCESS ZOE, an easy winner over this trip at the Curragh last month, followed up over 2m here on Monday and though 7lb higher has the excellent Joey Sheridan's claim on her side so a hat-trick beckons. The three-year-old Memorabilis landed a Fairyhouse maiden over this trip before finding 1m6f and Group 2 company beyond him at the Curragh. This should be more to his liking while Lynwood Gold is a real staying type as he showed when scoring over 1m6f at the Curragh so a strong pace and soft ground would play to his strengths.
