Race preview
There will be plenty expected of SIR GERHARD here given the horses Gordon Elliott has won this with in recent years. Malone Road carried the same Cheveley Park colours to a stunning success in the race two years ago so it looks significant that the Jeremy gelding comes here in a bid to give the yard a sixth straight win in the contest. Sir Gerhard looked a smart prospect when winning his sole point-to-point start and made £400,000 at the sales last December. Patrick Mullins is an interesting booking for Gavin Cromwell's charge Vintage Prosseco. He fell six from home on his sole point-to-point run when making the running and well clear. The Banger Doyle has been placed on both starts to date and might be able to reach the frame again.
