This may turn out to be a decent event. Paul Nicholls has won it for the last two years and is represented by Lisa De Vassy, a filly who showed plenty of promise last time at Exeter. She should be in the thick of the action but preference is for DAPHNE DU CLOS who has been very lightly raced but shaped nicely at Sandown recently and now has a tongue-tie on to help her cause. Both Whitehotchillifili and Lily the Pink are worth looking at, while Urban Artist is a very serious contender bringing the best bumper form to the table. Kissesforkatie faces a stiff task back in trip under her penalty.
