Griffyndor disputed the lead for most of the way over the track and trip in January and was just run out of it by Karakour. He'll certainly improve again but the winner's yard is represented by PORT LIONS, who lost the race in the stewards' room last month after passing the post first. Compensation awaits though Irish Minister, who was 3l behind in Karakour's race, did better when beaten a neck by Editorial last month and looks a threat. Tullyallen showed a bit of potential for Richard Hannon at Kempton and has joined John Oxx.
