In depth

Verdict

I'm A Gambler has led for most of the way in his two starts to date on good to soft ground so quicker conditions will see him difficult to catch. However, KIng Of Gold was only a neck behind him at Yarmouth last month so there should be little between them again here. The Frankel colt NUANCE is the first foal of a Group 3 winner from a high-class family and can make a successful debut. Mr Professor will need to improve but Catch Cunningham showed very good pace for a long way at York. Both Regrettably and Sam Maximus are speedily bred and worth a market check.
