TENANCY is the call with Cardinal and Fantasy Fighter others in the reckoning. The perennial front runner is dropped in trip in the hope that he could catch a few of his rivals napping and in a race where many have disappointed, this is at least a positive. Cardinal has a first run for Robert Cowell. A previous run at the course showed a degree of aptitude. Fantasy Fighter has been a grand servant to connections over the years but may just need the run. Beauchamp Wizard has been desperately out of form while Kyle has been dropped 4lb by the handicapper and looks to be off a relatively fair mark at the moment. Louisiade is a solid enough sort though finds winning a difficult habit to get into. Tenancy is not without issues but should give supporters a good run for their money.
