Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneRace Tip
ANIGHTINLAMBOURN has shown a real liking for racing at Prestbury Park and he is an attractive proposition in his bid to gain a success at the Festival. His two previous outings on Cheltenham's old course resulted in a close second at last October's meeting before he posted another gallant performance to win under Jack Andrews in a class 3 amateur jockeys' handicap the following month. All of which stands him in good stead for this rise in grade and switch to the new course. Obviously, there are dangers aplenty, with Stumptown rated as a leading contender after comfortably winning his last two starts and a 10lb rise for the latest of those might not be enough to halt his progression. It seems remarkable that Willie Mullins has yet to win this race but his Mr Incredible is likely candidate to end that barren spell. His game second in Warwick's Grade 3 Classic Chase certainly puts him in the picture and, with stamina assured, he is likely to be hard to keep out of the frame. Annual Invict
