Some nice mares line up for this and many hail from yards that have some statistical appeal. Nicky Henderson's runners here always have to be respected and the trainer landed this in 2008 and 2009. Tell It To Me won a poor bumper at Southwell but she could hardly have been more impressive. Maire Banrigh was bought for a huge sum after landing a mares maiden at Lingstown in emphatic style. Her yard are in form and took this two years ago. Diva Reconce was lauded after her debut victory and she is potentially very smart, but the experienced CHILLI FILLI sets a good standard and merits the selection. She showed a game attitude when landing her bumper and came up against a useful sort over an inadequate trip here last time. Henry Daly and Richard Johnson combined to win this in 2012 and 2014 so it will be little surprise if they could claim some valuable scalps this time.
