Verdict
Benefit Cut, Allez Vic and Anay Turge are just out of the handicap proper but the trio all arrive off the back of good recent runs. The latter returned to form at Sandown while Evan Williams' charge was second at Kempton. Attaglance, French Opera and Caid Du Berlais all ran in a Grade 3 over this trip at The Festival but none of them really figured and they appear to be facing a similar task today. Micheal Nolan's allowance might help Carrigmorna King but PEPITE ROSE can finally open her account for the season. Surprisingly, this will be her first run at Cheltenham but she jumps well enough to cope and only found Rebel Rebellion too good at Newbury last time when the subject of a gamble.
