LADY MYFANWY had The General Lee back in fourth and Island Life even further behind when third in this race 12 months ago. None of these are getting any younger but Myfanwy Miles' mare has every chance of confirming that form with her old rivals at the weights and she has more class than Classic Swain. Cool Friend and Tyup Pompey were both better over shorter trips under Rules but this is an easy course and neither can be ignored.
