I expect Lilywhite Gesture will be ridden closer to the place today as Davy Russell allowed stablemate, Theatre Wine get to far ahead. Double Speak and Major Destination , along with A Year To Remember are sure to be up there from the start and could fight for minor honours, but I suggest LILYWHITE GESTURE, will get the script right here.
