Tudor King can follow up his recent win at the expense of Business Class and Mister Club Royal. Just three runners go for the opener on the card, and although each of the trio have something to recommend them, the recent victory of Tudor King should give him the edge. Jeff King's charge made all at Folkestone last time, making the most of a fair handicap mark. Although that was over a longer trip, he will have no problems with today's distance, and with the fast ground in his favour as well, should be the answer. Business Class has not won since last year, and has to give weight away all round, while Mister Club Royal's jumping has let him down of late although he was successful at Uttoxeter in October. He is rated a good few pounds behind the selection, but does have the assistance of the in-form Graham Lee. Although three-horse races are notorious for throwing up the odd shock result, on this occasion we feel that there will be no surprises and that Tudor King is the safest option.
