Nicky Henderson’s stable has won this three times in the last 10 years. Jerry McGrath was on last year’s winner, Melangerie, and will fancy his chances on board LUST FOR GLORY, who ran well for third at Ascot in February despite taking a fierce hold. Queen's Magic easily beat Hawthorn Cottage at Plumpton and should have more to offer. Definitelyanoscar was always travelling best when beating Tashunka at Market Rasen while Diamond Gait wasn’t disgraced in Listed company at Sandown last month. Giving Back edged out the more-experienced Moody Maggie at Kempton and looks the pick of the four-year-olds ahead of Fforbidden Love and Mechelen.
