Gypsy Prince performed heroics to win last time out and can follow up this evening, Southwest Star and Spinning Ridge look to be the main rivals. The selection came from some way back to land that course and distance event. He was gradually angled out to see daylight on the outside, he came with a storming run which took him to the front around half a furlong from home and was soon clear. He was going away and can win again. He beat Southwest Star in that event and although the runner up has a nice weight pull he should confirm the form. Spinning Ridge also hit winning form last time out, comfortably beating In A Pickle over this trip at Wolverhampton. The six pound penalty may just stop the follow up but he should still be in there fighting at the death. Madam Rio has shwon ability in three maidens and is another interesting runner on her handicap debut, but there was plenty to like about Gipsy Prince's victory last time and he can make it back to back wins.
