Verdict

A wide open handicap chase may offer an opportunity for the likeable TOP GAMBLE to return to the winners enclosure. Both trip and ground suit and he is on a fair mark if able to recapture some old form. Among a number of horses with live chances are Le Rocher, King's Odyssey and Doitforthevillage, while if the rain stays away Touch Kick wouldn't be far away either.
  1. Top Gamble
  2. Doitforthevillage
  3. Le Rocher
