Henrietta Knight is double handed here with Miss Quickly and No More Money, both should run well but Kiwi Babe is taken to the land first prize. Paul Nicholls has his string in good form in the run up to Cheltenham and Kiwi Babe is fully expected to supplement her recent Wincanton victory. She may have been a bit fortunate to win that contest as the she looked held in third before the front two collided allowing the selection to swoop late for victory. However Kiwi Babe was very backward in that event and will improve leaps and bounds. The opposition here may not be as strong, Henrietta is a dual winner but they weak races and she has been well beaten since. Miss Quickly is making her hurdles debut after running well behind Quid Pro Quo in a bumper last time. No More Money was well beaten on her hurdles debut last time after showing decent form in bumpers. Kildee Lass holds Henrietta on Wincanton running but once again it is only modest form, so process of elimination brings us back to Kiwi Babe who is ours confident selection.
