Big guns remain in Queen Mother mix
Last year’s winner Big Zeb and 2009 Champion Master Minded are on target to cross swords at the Festival for a third successive season with the latter’s trainer, Paul Nicholls, also set to be represented by the progressive Woolcombe Folly.
There has been some doubt cast on the participation of Henrietta Knight’s Somersby who ran Master Minded close at Ascot last time as he could be re-routed to the Ryanair depending on underfoot conditions but the eight year-old could still line up in the two mile championship.
