Verdict
Tudors Treasure battled on stoutly to repel Minella Voucher at Ffos Las this month and should prove competitive off a 6lb higher mark, especially if displaying similar resolution. However, he faces a dual challenge from the Gary Hanmer stable, with LOCH GARMAN ARIS (NAP) rated best of the pair and taken to follow up a course and distance success ten days ago. The gelding is extremely lightly-raced for an 11-year-old - just 16 runs under Rules - and is not ground dependent. He's gone up 5lb for that recent course success but it was a stylish victory and he can follow up. Square Viviani and The Manuscript have ability but both are very hard to catch right.
