A typically competitive renewal of this race and the five JP McManus runners declared for this are interesting. Irish raiders Alfa Mix and top-weight Kilfenora bring in similar form lines from some competitive handicaps in Ireland. Eglantine Du Seuil is another Irish contender who could be well ahead of her mark but preference is for DAME DE COMPAGNIE who has course form to her name. Nicky Henderson's mare is only up 8lb for her latest success and she has a less exposed profile than many in here.
