A few of these are suited by further including Cogry, just beaten in the Scottish National at Ayr in April, and Doing Fine, fifth in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown in the same month but sure to strip fitter for a fourth at Fontwell. Singlefarmpayment ran a cracker over course and distance at The Festival in March having won earlier on the new course. He'll be a threat to all if fully wound-up having only been raised 4lb. Viconte Du Noyer won on his reappearance here last season and was just beaten in a valuable handicap at Punchestown in the spring while the good ground will suit Southfield Vic. BELLS 'N' BANJOS remains unexposed and goes well fresh. He is well worth
