Although STAGE STAR bombed out in a C&D handicap last time his overall Cheltenham record, which includes a win in last year's Golden Miller, provides hope that he can bounce back to form with a bang. The likelihood of a soft ground is a slight worry for Banbridge so it could be that the chief threat comes from last year's winner Envoi Allen, a 3-time Festival scorer.
