Ex-pointer Remember Forever has experience on his side, as does Lord Bryan who was fourth on his racecourse debut at Warwick last May. But you'd expect one of the newcomers to have their measure with PASSING DU MOULIN, a half-brother to useful chaser Chartreux, top of the list. Market support for either Market Court or Samdibien should also be noted.
