TIKKINTHEBOX put in a career best effort when finishing runner-up at Taunton on his final start of last season and with the trip and ground both likely to suit he can give Jeremy Scott a winner in this opening contest. Gibbes Bay represents a leading stable today and can claim second following a couple of promising efforts in the spring while Balgemmois, another making his handicap debut today can claim third having finished behind useful rivals the last twice.
