PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
STAND UP AND FIGHT was sent off as the leading Irish hope for the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival 12 months ago, and whilst a return to Prestbury Park had seemed to be on the agenda for him earlier in the season, he now switches to the banks following a disappointing display at Thurles last month. With his trainer synonymous with these unique races, he can step up from that seasonal re-appearance. Festival Opera is back to defend his title from 12 months ago, and whilst well beaten at Punchestown on his reappearance recently, he had not figured in that corresponding race en route to winning this last year, so it should not be a concern. Sizing Solution, Venitien De Mai and Better B Quick are others with form around here and certainly enter the equation.
