GRAND GESTE found the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival too tough an ask but goes really well round here and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a third win here. Veterans Hang In There and Hold Your Fort arrive in good nick and could prove the main dangers, although both Iron Bridge and Egbert are also capable of having a say if in the mood.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Hold Your Fort should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Hang In There usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Minella Crooner traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
