Verdict

Gary Moore has two live contenders here with BARON ALCO particularly appealing. He chased home subsequent dual Grade One winner Road To Respect at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival and after missing all of last season made a most encouraging return at Chepstow. He should strip fitter now and could be very well handicapped. Rather Be should reverse 2018 festival placings with Mister Whitaker now with a 9lb pull in his favour although the impression is that the latter remains on the up so both are live contenders.
  1. Baron Alco
  2. Rather Be
  3. Mister Whitaker
