Desert Cry, Tetlami and Kapga De Cerisy all failed to complete in their respective races at the Cheltenham Festival. The latter had looked the more progressive of the three before that with an impressive win at Sandown when turning over odds-on favourite Fago, though that form has taken a hit since. BALLYGARVEY gave Cheltenham a miss and arrives here on a hat-trick after victories at Lingfield and Chepstow last time. Philip Hobbs' charge looks capable of better still and can defy a 9lb rise. Conquisto has won a couple of novice events that looked stronger than the race at Warwick won by Jackies Solitaire, while Greywell is also facing a much tougher task having landed a double earlier in the year.
