A wide open contest. American Life won this race in 2016 and has been in good form over hurdles lately, if he transfers that to the Flat he could be a force once again. Madam Lilibet placed behind that rival in 2016 and she has claims given her current form but BECKY THE THATCHER makes most appeal given her lenient mark. She may not have won on the Flat as of yet but she's run well this winter and first-time headgear could see her improve.
- Becky The Thatcher
