With solid previous racecourse form at a premium, this can go to a newcomer, with
Royal Reel,
Stoner's Choice and
MARADA all of interest. Nico De Boinville takes the mount aboard the well-related Nicky Henderson-trained gelding who arrives late to the racecourse at the age of six. Ben Case wouldn't be a regular supplier of bumper winners, but then again he won't have trained too many that cost £75,000 as a three-year-old, and it's noteworthy that Carolyn Kendrick entrusts the Cheltenham Festival winning trainer with this 4yo. However, without the benefit of the market as a guide, the Skelton filly Marada is chanced in receipt of her handy 7lb fillies allowance.
