Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty teamed up to take this 12 months ago and will fancy their chances of a repeat with Fabrika, who justified favouritism at Newbury last month. Koolala rallied to make a winning debut at Lingfield in January while Miner Distraction also scored at the first time of asking at Wincanton. Bobble Boru, Cannon Fodder, Definitely Glad and Dreams And Songs have all shown enough to suggest they can win a bumper, while Midnight Cataria was third in a mares' race at Fakenham though Wayne Hutchinson prefers newcomer Bull And Bush. FAIRYTALE THEATRE is by King's Theatre and a half-brother to winning hurdler On The Bridge and has joined Paul Nicholls since making an eye-catching winning debut between the flags in February. He looks an exciting prospect and can get his career under Rules off to a successful start.
