GRAND GESTE found the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival too tough an ask but goes really well round here and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a third win here. Veterans Hang In There and Hold Your Fort arrive in good nick and could prove the main dangers, although both Iron Bridge and Egbert are also capable of having a say if in the mood.
