FormscanBy Mark Nunan - NDAAWI reversed course and distance form with Miss Manzor when a fine third in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham and may now confirm that superiority. Gordon Elliott's charge, a maiden winner at Naas two runs back, finished third to Miss Manzor here in January but had that filly nine lengths in arrears when they clashed at Prestbury Park. Miss Manzor gets an extra 3lb from the selection on this occasion but it may not be enough to turn the tables. Karia Des Blaises, a faller at halfway in the Fred Winter, had previously split Miss Manzor and Ndaawi when second here in January and can't be ruled out but British raider Givemefive, second in a Grade 2 at Kempton after winning his first two starts over hurdles, may pose a bigger threat. Bottler'secret easily won a four-runner Grade 3 at Naas on hurdling debut but faces a stiffer task under a penalty.
