Verdict
The four-year-old Double Windsor has run well over timber on this track without winning but is bred for the Flat so it will be interesting to see how he copes with fences. Crocodile Dundee was in decent form over hurdles in the summer and looked like getting involved in the finish on his chasing bow at Wexford but fell at the last. That may have affected his confidence as he ran poorly at Killarney next time before reverting to timber. LIP SERVICE didn't win in bumpers nor over hurdles but has always been regarded as a chaser in the making. His best form has been on heavy ground so taking a short price may not be the best option though the lack of credible opposition suggests he can make a successful debut over the bigger obstacles.
