A competitive field goes to post for the first on the card at Cheltenham. Half An Hour was an easy winner of a similar contest at Haydock last time when defeating Almire Du Lia by an easy ten lengths,is taken to follow up with conditions again in his favour. Buckby Lane rates the main danger he won a poor contest in good style last time out and he is proven on the ground and with the Paul Webber horses in top form he is sure to take a hand in the finish. Cool Roxy is another worthy of consideration she won a handicap last time out beating the useful yardstick Apadi and with her mares allowance she could be well weighted. Mind How You Go is another with a chance having been a good second to the highly regarded Our Armageddon at Market Rasen last time out. Desmond Tutu is from the bang in form Paul Nicholls yard but although he travels well in his races he does not always find as much as is expected off the bridle. Of the remainder Fantasmic who won well last time out is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
