FormscanBy Alan Magee - Sir Gerhard is clear ante-post favourite for the Cheltenham Festival bumper following an impressive debut under rules at Down Royal. The Jeremy gelding was purchased for 400,000 pounds by current connections after readily landing a four-year-old maiden at Boulta, and he looks a young horse of immense promise after a facile 14 lengths victory over The Banger Doyle (won at Punchestown last Friday). However, LETSBECLEARABOUTIT has won his two bumper starts in equally impressive fashion and may provide a bit of value despite having to give away 3lb. He obviously handles heavy ground very well and, while some may question the form having beaten the same horse twice, the well-beaten third and fourth at Punchestown last time were both previous winners. Anglers Crag and Ever Present add further spice to what should be a fascinating contest.
