Nicky Henderson can end proceedings with another winner in the shape of newcomer FOREVER PRESENT. The 210,000 euros purchase is related to a winning hurdler and her dam is a half-sister to triple Gold Cup hero Best Mate. La Calinda makes most appeal of those with experience on her debut second at Huntingdon last month, while Reinette O'Bry showed her first worthwhile form with a fifth to the unbeaten Swing Bowler at Warwick last time. September Blaze should improve for last month's introduction at Ludlow and Diligent is a debutant to keep an eye on for the future.
