In depth

Verdict

Lord Henry is returning from almost a year on the sidelines but Philip Hobbs' 12-year-old is capable of running well fresh and shouldn't be left out of calculations. Takeroc has the beating of Glenary and will be thereabouts again. But he was a little disappointing at Hereford last time and King Cyrus arguably has his beating on a line through Taunton runner-up Fresh Air And Fun. Quaddick Lake was beaten in modest company at Newton Abbot last month but DOUBLE MEAD has taken well to the hunter chase circuit, recording comfortable wins at Towcester and Ludlow since the turn of the year. The mare can complete her hat-trick here.
