Glorious Lady only had to be pushed out to beat WHITE HART LADY at Worcester in October, with Ho Que Oui further behind, but the runner-up left that form well behind when scoring later at Lingfield, when Lost Connections was tailed off, and Harry Fry’s mare might be the pick of the weights in this series final.
