Race preview
Paul Nicholls has a strong hand here with stable newcomer Ecco the pick of his three runners based on his Grade 2 sixth in Germany last year, while Fusil Raffles won in this sphere in France and demands respect on his first outing for Nicky Henderson. Needs To Be Seen ran a blinder at Cheltenham last time and he could do similar here, but preference is for Alan King's filly GIVING GLANCES. Her only disappointing effort thus far came on soft ground at Aintree and a big run looks set fair on this better surface.
