L'Homme Presse (5/4), Pic D'Orhy (13/8), Ahoy Senor (4/1), Sail Away (18/1)
A small but select field for this Grade 1 and it's L'HOMME PRESSE who gets the nod having made the perfect return from over a year on the sidelines in the Fleur De Lys Chase at Lingfield last month. He can add a third top-level success to an already glittering C.V. at the expense of Pic d'Orhy, who was back to his best when pulling clear with Banbridge in the Silviniaco Conti at Kempton 5 weeks ago and found only Shishkin too strong in last year's renewal.
