Verdict

THE EXPENSIVE ONE has had an excuse on both starts at Cheltenham since making all at Stratford in the autumn and, back from a break with the step up in distance in his favour, he could be the answer. Fresh Kicks also eases slightly in grade and is feared most, for all Name Me Nicely is a potential improver.
