Four of these are previous course and distance winners and Here We Have It won at the track over fences last season. Pardon Me has won three of her last four while Blue Sans goes in search of a hat-trick after victories here in June and July – she holds Tommydan on the form book. LELANTOS may not be one of Nicky Henderson’s leading lights but he still boasts a pretty good strike-rate and was very game in landing the spoils in a bunch finish at Newton Abbot last month. Broomfields Cave is less consistent and conceding weight all round.
