Remember Forever was beaten a long way into second here a couple of weeks ago, though it was an improvement on his previous start. Arquebusier won a handicap hurdle on heavy going at Leicester in December and was having only his second start over fences when a close second at Fontwell in April. ALLCHILLEDOUT landed a handicap over timber on very testing going at Taunton and his pedigree suggests he can do better over fences so Colin Tizzard's charge is handed the vote. Viking Mistress had shown virtually nothing before a much improved run in a handicap hurdle at Hereford three weeks ago and further progress would see her involved in the finish if she takes to the bigger obstacles.
