Cheltenham

It was thrilling to see the way FACT TO FILE motored down to two out here last year and there was nothing to touch him thereafter, so hopefully he will again give the fans one of the great sights of the meeting. As Banbridge is by no means sure to repeat his fine Kempton form back on this track, it may be Jonbon who provides the main danger. In the same ownership as the selection, a thoroughly sportsmanlike decision to take part adds a good deal to a race that was threatening to become lopsided and this former champion two-miler should give a good account over a trip that suits him better these days. Heart Wood is likely to be ridden more prominently than when giving vain chase to Fact To File last year, and may benefit from it, so he can also be a factor, with Impaire Et Passe not far away either.[Emily Weber]
