Kingsgate Prince hit winning form with a vengeance recently and can make it a quick double, Didn't We and Gibbs Camp are also expected to go well. John Best's colt stayed on resolutetly to beat Dianne's Choice over the six furlong trip here last Sunday. The fact that he is turned out again so quickly suggests he is still at the top of his game and with the extra furlong likely to suit he looks the one to be on. Didn't We also hit winning form last time beating Radiator Rooney in a tight finish. He doesn't look over burdened for his handicap debut and big run is expected. Gibbs Camp is from a top yard that appears to be coming into form, any market move for this one should be heeded. Of the others Final Bid has a chance on the pick of his form, but Kingsgate Prince is expected to make it back to back victories.
