Race preview
Kitty's Light, equipped with a first-time tongue-tie, is an interesting player back over fences for the first time since finishing third in the Badger Beers Silver Trophy at Wincanton in November and he demands respect. Dandy Dan brings winning C&D form to the table and will likely give it a good go on his return from a break, but preference is for CLAUD AND GOLDIE. Sandy Forster's veteran performer had subsequent Cheltenham Festival hero Vintage Clouds 19 lengths behind when winning over an extended 2m7f here last month and a 5lb rise for that effort might not be enough to anchor him.
