Verdict

AMERICAN GERRY quickly dispelled a lesser effort when second behind an aggressively ridden rival over C&D 16 days ago, noted closing all the way to the line and, again partnered by Freddie Gingell, he looks to hold sound claims again. Him Malaya goes chasing following a good solid third over hurdles at Ludlow (form working out well) and he's of interest. Up For Appeal is another to keep an eye on.

  1. AMERICAN GERRY (IRE)
  2. HIM MALAYA (FR)
  3. UP FOR APPEAL (IRE)
