Many in the line-up have the potential to better themselves in future, arguably none more so than the Nicky Henderson-trained Precious Cargo who would be suited by further rainfall. However, the Supreme Novices' at Cheltenham provides rock-solid recent Grade 1 form, and therefore the most relevant clues. Itchy Feet broke blood vessels in finishing a career best third to the likeable winner Klassical Dream, coming out on top of both FELIX DESJY (fifth) and Aramon (sixth). Nevertheless, it's probably worth chancing the Gordon Elliott-trained runner at this much less demanding track in the hope and expectation that he can find a nice early rhythm towards the fore.
