Etienne Gerard won this a year ago and is on exactly the same mark here though Nigel Tinkler looks to have a better chance with Athollblair Boy, who has run well in his last two starts. The veteran Sir Geoffrey has won 20 races in a long caeer including two already this season and he's by no means finished yet while fellow veteran Doctor Parkes goes for his twelfth career victory and is now on his lowest ever mark on his 118th start. FRANK COOL won on Polytrack at Lingfield before a very good run at Brighton despite bursting a blood vessel. He looks the form pick here though Frangarry won over the minimum here in October and missed a race at Ayr yesterday for this.
