Atlantic Gamble, Regency Red and Newnham are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Atlantic Gamble. The selection is no stable star but he has found his level and he has found his form and he looks worth staying on the right side of at present. Regency Red is a course and distance winner and this is easier than his most recent assignment, but he does not win very often and he may have to settle for a minor role today. Newnham won four times at this time last year so although he has been a bit disappointing recently, he could be very interesting. Faversham is another who could go well at an each-way price, but Atlantic Gamble is in good heart and should take plenty of beating.
