GIBSON PARK bolted up under a penalty in a novice event here last week, beating an experienced rival rated 116 by 13 lengths. Only four, there should be more to come and Dan Skelton has put up a 7lb claimer to negate a further weight rise. Peruvien Bleu returned from a break to run a fine race behind an in-form rival at Newton Abbot and will be a threat if that has blown away a few cobwebs. Our Kylie won twice on the Flat before running at the Galway Festival and is another to consider but the jury is out on Master Of Finance at present, though he should strip fitter for a recent spin on the level.
