GERONIMO has shown ability in all three starts so far and only narrowly missed out last time at Carlisle. There could be improvement to come and he is taken to get the better of top weight Tomkevi who has been in fair form this term. Road To Gold has to be respected along with Chicoria who scored in brave fashion last time at Ayr.
