Cheltenham
Sat 22nd Oct

Formscan  - Thecompanysergeant has to give weight all round following victories at Kilbeggan and Listowel, but still commands plenty of respect. Strong Leader made a bright start to his career at Warwick in May and bids to follow in the steps of his full-brother Strong Glance, who landed this prize back in 2018. Milton Harris saddles Earth Cry, unbeaten in two bumpers, and GENTLE SLOPES, with preference for the latter. A 90,000-pound purchase at the Cheltenham Festival sale, he created a good impression at Sedgefield last month and the manner of victory suggested he could be very competitive in a contest of this nature.
