Nicky Henderson saddled the winner of the inaugural running of this in 2022 and, in DIAMONDS GALORE and Khrisma, the yard fields 2 live contenders this time round. The latter remains with potential and is bound to be popular but Diamonds Galore is an appealing alternative at the forecast prices, on the back of what has to go down as an unlucky defeat in a Ludlow handicap. Our Peggy rates a solid each-way option, while Beauty In The Park and First Candidate are others to consider.
