MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR had less than a length to spare over Dont Do Mondays in this last year but had a bit up his sleeve and the pair meet on the same terms. Rose Laxton’s charge has won his last six starts and is hard to oppose again. Kelvingrove has been keeping decent company between the fags and under Rules since joining Andrew Leyshon but would still be a surprise winner.
