Race preview
New headgear could help Alaphilippe back under Rules trying first-time blinkers. He can go well, as can Douglas Longbottom, who arrives after winning three point-to-points in a row, but FAIRLY FAMOUS is preferred. He sports cheekpieces now after coming home a head second between the flags last month when caught late on, and he boasts winning course form to boot.
