Verdict

A spell hunting may have freshened up Monsieur Gibraltar with the yard scoring with a similar type at Stratford earlier this month. But the Nicholls entry probably faces a stiff task trying to give weight to MERCIAN PRINCE (NAP), who won easily over hurdles at Bangor on his return to action and has a good strike-rate over fences. Jockey bookings suggest Lovato is preferred to stablemate Ronava but both may need this. Knockgraffon was never travelling at Market Rasen and the going may be too quick for De Plotting Shed but Western Miller is capable if in the mood.
