A competitive finale in which course and distance winner Zlatan is likely to be prominent in the betting after a couple of pipe-openers at Kempton. Wicker has been in good form on Polytrack over the winter while East Coast Lady ended the last campaign in fine form and holds Caledonia Duchess on her dead-heat here in October. Hawridge Glory won at Newbury and Salisbury last year but looks a few pounds too high at present. Seamus Durack has shown he can get one ready at home and SPANISH HISTORY should have more to offer after just the three runs. He broke his maiden here in October and an opening mark of 77 is not excessive.
