MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR has won three times over 3m at Larkhill since the turn of the year. David Maxwell replaces Harriet Tucker in the saddle but Rose Loxton’s charge may have too much speed for likely market rival Risk A Fine, despite a small penalty. James King’s mount won a three-runner race back under Rules at Fakenham, however, and will be a big danger. Creative Inerta won at Exeter last May but is having his first outing since and appears to have plenty to find on these terms.
