On paper, a straightforward task for MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR. He’s been a prolific winner under Rules and between the flags and has the most experienced amateur on board in enthusiastic owner David Maxwell. Peacocks Secret chased home the odds-on Tango De Juilley at a respectable distance at Leicester but that was over 2m and he hasn’t won in almost two years. Conrad Hastings was puled up at Wincanton when having a first run for new connections but will have needed the outing.
