Giving Back won on Polytrack at Kempton in March and was biting off more than can she could chew at Cheltenham next time. Despite a penalty, Alan King’s mare has every chance in this but other powerful yards also have runners. Miss Honey Ryder is surely better than she showed at Huntingdon in February but Paul Nicholls’ PARODY has an eye-catching pedigree being by Presenting and the first foal to race of a King’s Theatre mare that won a bumper and a hurdle. What A Hoot is a half-sister to a bumper winner so is also worth a market check.
