It would be dangerous to rule out any of this field. Bally Lagan was in super form in the spring and returned with a pleasing run at Warwick, though he's since blotted the copybook at Ludlow. Grand Coureur on the other hand is open to doing better having finished second at the venue last time on just his second chase start while Finnegan's Garden and Fingers Crossed hold valid place claims. A chance is taken on this likely better surface bringing out the best in REMEMBER FOREVER, who has shaped well enough for a long way in both starts since coming back in on more testing ground. He ended last season with back-to-back wins over this trip on similar ground and is just 2lb above his latest win-mark if the conditions do now play to his strengths.
