Saturday sees an exciting return of this classic Grade 1.

It will be run at Ascot but unfortunately once again without public which is sad.  Ascot and other courses around London including Newbury and Kempton will be unable to admit public.

This year's edition has 10 runners and the field includes several previous winners.  The main interest is in the clash between Thyme Hill and Paisley Park who raced against each other last time at Newbury with the honours going to Thyme Hill by 1 1/4l.  Paisley Park won this in 2018 and didn't defend last year because of the going.  They are currently 7/4 and 9/4.

Main Fact is going for an 11th win in successive races and is on 11/2, and we like the mare Roksana (Skeltons) who has the weight advantage and although lightly raced won her last outing and could give this a shake.  She's on 6/1.
