Verdict
Beau Geste could only manage third when sent off favourite here last time and finished behind runner-up RIVAS ROB ROY (NAP). The latter was headed close home on that occasion and is taken to go one better in this. The former’s stablemate Chetan posted a better effort over 7f here last month looking to end a long losing run while Alafdhal tumbles further down the weights still looking for his first win and is fitted with headgear.
