Verdict

GIBBS ISLAND made a winning reappearance in good style at this fixture 12 months ago, and he may well repeat the feat off the same mark here. Sam Thomas has won the previous 2 renewals of this race and Doctor Blue could have a big say if back on song. Le Beau Madrik is likely to have been primed by the all-powerful Skelton team, while Captain Hugo and Serious Challenge would be serious players if ready to roll.
