LORD TORRANAGA won this last year and a repeat may be on the cards as he found only an in-form rival too good at Carlisle at the start of the month. Natchez Trace could go well if forgiven a below-par run at Chester two weeks ago and Lady Percival has been lightly raced. Tiger Jet is eased in grade searching for a first win and Down To The Kid was in good form here in the spring. World Without Love has been knocking on the door but needs some help from the handicapper.
