Forecasts

Monsieur Gibraltar (1/4), Dont Do Mondays (3/1), Kelvingrove (10/1), Only Time'll Tell (100/1), Killabraher Cross (100/1)

MONSIEUR GIBRALTAR looks capable of following up last years victory in this contest by conceding weight to his rivals under regular owner/rider David Maxwell. Runner-up that day Dont Do Mondays has been in good form in point-to-points of late and he can take second ahead of Kelvingrove who has run some decent races in defeat this season.
