In depth
Verdict
GERICO VILLE has already run well in a similar contests here this season and a repeat of his latest second should be good enough for this. Essential Jaco has joined Gary Moore since second in a maiden point in the autumn but Pilot Show might be a bigger danger as he’s won between the flags and led up the straight in a Chepstow bumper on his debut under Rules until a lack of condition told. Concrete King looks best of the rest.
