Another cracking contest which sees old rivals IF THE CAP FITS and Roksana meet again after they clashed at Aintree earlier in the year and the pair meet on the same terms here. Just a head separated them last time and it could well be close again here especially as the Skelton mare has already shown her wellbeing this year with another good Aintree second to Top Notch. That run will have given the trainer of the winner on that day – Nicky Henderson – a good idea where he stands with the lightly-raced but talented Call Me Lord who has won at this level in similar conditions. Le Patriote steps up in grade and may find this too much of a test given he looks best with a speed test.
