Verdict

Gamble has a nice pedigree and will enhance her paddocks value if she can get a win under her belt. She is improving with experience and only found one too good at Newmarket last month but ROYAL PECULIAR may finally be ready to take advantage of a tumbling mark. He's also eased in grade after his latest fifth at Newcastle and could improve for a pair of blinkers. Lisa's Legacy won in this class at Salisbury last month but tries 1m4f for the first time, as does Quest For More. Grey Blue is hard to fancy on his two runs this term and Grayswood also finished last on his latest start and seems better on the Polytrack.
