Successful on each of his 2 previous appearances at this meeting FAIRLY FAMOUS clearly wasn't himself when pulled up in the Fox Hunters' Chase at the Festival in March. However, he confirmed his well-being when finishing runner-up between the Flags since and is fancied to make a bold bid to come out on top again here. Douglas Longbottom has some excellent point form to his name and he's feared along with Alaphilippe, in a race containing plenty of in-form sorts.
