FABRIKA is good place to start in a field of newcomers as Nicky Henderson has won the last two renewals and his Presenting filly may be good enough to make it a hat-trick given she's a half-sister to bumper winner Chasing Aces. Tony McCoy's presence on Monkey Kingdom entitles the latter to consideration especially as he's related to three National Hunt winners while Mickie is a half-sister to a chase winner and worth noting as Henry Daly won this contest in 2009. Paupers Present's dam is a half-sister to National hero Comply Or Die and is another worth a second glance in the betting.
