Verdict
GITCHE GUMEE would have placed again at Southwell last time had he not fallen at the last. He’s not really done a lot wrong since winning at Stratford in the autumn and may have too much speed for last month’s course winner Kansas Du Berlais. Ilot De L'Isle won twice in France but is probably best watched having a first run for Richard Bandey after a lay-off.
