Four of Nicky Henderson's last five runners here in bumpers have won and KAYF GRACE will be a short price to enhance that record as she was only beaten a head on her reappearance at Doncaster having been placed at Southwell and Cheltenham last season. Indulgence is a Flat-bred filly so may enjoy this sharp track while both of Arcadiana's siblings have won bumpers and the two newcomers are preferred to Parisian Star and Clanville Lass for forecast purposes.
