Whiskey And Water beat WHAT WILL BE here in June but had the benefit of previous experience. The latter improved to beat Maria Magdalena at Stratford and may well turn the tables today. Inceyquincyspider has a jumping pedigree and Paricolor won a minor contest on the Flat in France and has joined the David Pipe stable. Lucou placed three times over hurdles in France and Brian Hughes rides on his first run for Micky Hammond so he has to go on the short-list.
