Verdict
Doitforthevillage did well last season but usually needs a run or two to blow away the cobwebs. Reve is still relatively unexposed over fences but was a disappointing favourite at Worcester in the summer. GENERATOR CITY hasn’t fared badly in three runs over the larger obstacles since joining Barry Leavy. A winner when trained in Ireland, the eight-year-old can take advantage of the 9lb he receives from Wagner.
