A race which to some degree revolves around INSTANT GAMBLER who is 7 lb well-in under a penalty for last week's comfortable Fontwell success. The chief threat may come from chase newcomers Lady Mendoza, whose stable landed this race in 2022, and Defence Witness, both of whom won in the pointing field at the start of their career.
