Verdict

KING'S GAMBIT has confirmed the impression he made in the London Gold Cup when finishing runner-up in Group races both starts since, acquitting himself well against older horses in the York Stakes, so he is taken to resume winning ways with more still to offer upped in trip. He can see off the challenge of Irish Derby winner Los Angeles in receipt of 5 lb, with Illinois also in the mix.
