Verdict
Livinginthefuture finished ahead of Hope And Praey when second between the flags at Upcott Cross last month. Party Pictures was already beaten when unseating his rider at Cherrybrook last time when Star Gale was a one-paced fourth, while Mr Redwood is probably best watched despite a pipe-opener over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month. Arbour Hill warrants respect, however, following his win at Brampton Bryan and looks the main danger to GLOBAL PARTY. Dennis Turner's nine-year-old only won a match at Flete Park 10 days ago but his overall point-to-point form looks superior to that of his rivals.
