Race preview
Kalkbrenner had Klimt Madrik back in fourth when making a successful timber debut at Ffos Las but, as is the case with Fontwell scorer Kocktail Bleu, he has to give weight to some useful prospects. Grand Garcon made the frame behind the exciting Sober Glory at Chepstow, while hurdling newcomers Walk Tall and Kiwi Rush have to enter the equation. BUDDY HOLLY also tackles hurdles for the first time and has joined Nicky Henderson since a decent effort at the Punchestown Festival - a move which could help inspire the necessary improvement.
