Gifted Gamble is a sporting choice, with Rezaggo and Prince Tum Tum others to bear in mind if they are supported. Prince Tum Tum is a tough sort that has paid his way with five career wins to his name. He won a Listed race here as a three-year-old, so should be capable of a bold show if, as is expected, he adapts to racing on the new surface. The trip is a minor concern where he is concerned though, as he has shown all his best form over slightly further. Rezaggo still has scope to improve and is expected to strip a lot fitter now that he has the benefit of a couple of recent outings behind him. Another to mention is Adantino, who won his penultimate start in good style. He does look weight to the hilt at present though and he may find at least a couple better off at the weights. One of which we think will be Gifted Gamble, who ran a blinder when third in a much tougher race at York last week and will be very hard to master if posting a similar performance this afternoon.
