FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Off an initial mark of 92, it might be worth taking a chance on TUDORISTA in this fiercely competitive affair. One of two Gavin Cromwell-trained representatives in the line-up, she is the choice of Keith Donoghue. A half-sister to five-time victor Lieutenant Mayne, she caught the eye when fourth at Ballinrobe in July and had two subsequent winners behind. Second, third, fourth and sixth over the course and distance earlier this month, Midnight Eagle, Destivelle, Getaway Henry and The Border Boy all clash again, with the Aengus King-trained former taken to uphold the form. Second on her debut for Terence O'Brien at Listowel, Inchiquin Maid is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Nusra and Surviving Murmansk are others for the shortlist.
