Forecasts

Monsieur Gibraltar (8/11), Toby Lerone (11/8), Olofi (2/1), Gauvain (7/1), Brody Bleu (8/1), Hazy Tom (20/1), Doeslessthanme (20/1), Free World (50/1)

Verdict

MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR was called a few names in his time with Paul Nicholls, but has impressed with his turn of foot in winning all three of his starts for Rose Loxton, and may have too much toe for Toby Lerone. Gauvain is well into the veteran stage now, but is a sound jumper who is best at this sort of trip, and has place claims.
  1. Monsieur Gibraltar
  2. Toby Lerone
  3. Gauvain
