TUDOR PRINCE is steadily running into form and Tony Carroll's seven-year-old, now 10lb lower than his last winning mark, can belatedly open his account for the season on a course where he's run well in the past. Talkative Guest was well backed at Brighton earlier this month and may be capable of better, but Diamond Run's best form has come on the Polytrack and Norcroft's only recent win came on the Fibresand. Pytheas ran no sort of race at Brighton last time but was placed in a better contest at the same track earlier and has claims on that run.
