Fiftyshadesofgrey won this in 2015 but was well beaten in last year’s renewal. Zwayyan is likely to prove popular on his reappearance though will need to improve off his current mark while Ice Age is upped in class after winning at Brighton. Lightning Charlie was second yet again at Windsor recently but Charles Molson was only beaten a neck in this grade on his return to action when ahead of previous winner Suzi's Connoisseur and could go close. MAKE MUSIC won at Lingfield before finishing fourth to the smart Realtra over today’s trip at the All-Weather Championships last month and Andrew Balding’s filly gets the nod on that form.
