12/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 40/1) 20 days ago, finding little. Back down in trip and tongue strap back on. Others make more appeal.

9/4
Four wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (11/8) at Kempton (8f) 6 days ago, readily. Unraced on faster than good to soft on turf. Major claims under a penalty.

4/1
Three wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 27 days ago, slowly away. Clearly at the top of her game but this 5 lb higher mark will ask a question.

Forecasts

Verdict

ATLANTIC GAMBLE arrives on the crest of a wave and is taken to complete the five-timer. The progressive 3-y-o did the job well at Kempton last week, leaving the impression that he will take the world of beating if turned out again quickly under a penalty, as is the case here. Terries Royale took a step forward when a close third to Sycamore over C&D 19 days ago and, given his low mileage, it would be no surprise to see him reverse those placings and emerge as the main danger.
