Swiss Guard had an engagement at Hereford on Sunday so it remains to be seen if he'll turn up here. You could argue that he's still well handicapped after winning easily at Lingfield earlier in the month but REMEMBER NOW is open to much more improvement. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old, a half-brother to champion hurdler Binocular, was having only his third start over timber when runner-up at Lingfield last month and was AP McCoy's only booked ride here at the overnight stage. The Bishops Baby has been put up 4lb for his narrow win at Folkestone but Super Directa should be all the better for his comeback run at Fakenham and can't be ignored.
