Forecasts

The Glancing Queen (8/13), Alice Avril (11/4), Darling Du Large (7/1), Cut The Mustard (12/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for all the quartet but the verdict goes to THE GLANCING QUEEN. Alan King's mare has impressed over fences this term and she should find this much easier than when finishing mid-field in the Plate at the Festival 4 weeks ago. Gold Cup-winning combination Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore team up with Alice Avril and she shades the vote for second over Darling du Large.

  1. THE GLANCING QUEEN (IRE)
  2. ALICE AVRIL (FR)
  3. DARLING DU LARGE (FR)
