Fundamentalist faces four tomorrow

Fundamentalist faces just four rivals in the Unicoin Homes `Dipper' Novices' Chase at Cheltenham tomorrow including My Will, a horse he disposed of at the same track in November.

The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding suffered a rare reverse at Newbury later that month when he went down by half a length to Vodka Bleu in a tactical race for the Fulke Walwyn Novices' Chase.

However, he had hacked up on his previous two starts and handed out an eight-length beating to Contraband in a Grade Two event at Prestbury Park.

Paul Nicholls' My Will, who was a further eight lengths behind Contraband, subsequently came off second best to See You Sometime, who reopposes, at Windsor two weeks ago. The latter, trained by Seamus Mullins, had finished third in the Newbury contest.

The field for tomorrow's two-mile-five-furlong race is completed by Henrietta Knight's El Vaquero and Philip Pritchard's Tom Nail.
