Plenty arrive with claims in a competitive finale with the vote in favour of GRADUATE OF HONOUR. She ran her best race yet when just touched off in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago and a repeat should see her firmly in the mix again from her basement mark. Picpoul, in search of the hat-trick, Arctic Blaze and Never Back Down head up the dangers.
