TUDOR PRINCE was beaten less than a length when fourth over C&D three weeks ago and looks set to bring his long losing run to an end. He can confirm superiority with Blue Noodles, Cut And Thrust and Princess Willow. Yakama was a narrow margin runner-up at Yarmouth last month, though one win in 52 starts doesn't boost confidence, while it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder with Ad Vitam and Gracie's Gift looking the best of those.
