Verdict
AGENT GIBBS bolted up when trying this trip for the first time at Nottingham on Monday. He has a 6lb penalty to overcome but Cam Hardie's claim cuts that in half and he can follow up. Royal Roslea steps up from 7f, which might be a problem, but The Way You Dance has hinted at ability and could make the frame while Tommys Geal won over course and distance two runs ago, though remains 6lb higher. Miss Dusky Diva is probably still a few pounds too high but has shown enough to suggest she'll win a race like this when the handicapper releases his grip.
