Grand Geste was made too much use of when pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival and it would be no surprise were he to bounce back at this lesser level, but the veteran HOLD YOUR FORT appeals more on this occasion. He dominated a small field at Ascot last time and, although he might have to work harder here, his mark is still fair. Iron Bridge is third choice having found his form again of late and being a strong stayer at the trip. |
