        Verdict

        Gambling Spirit can win this at the expense of Sonny Parkin and Qualitaire Wings. The selection will carry a penalty after his two latest wins at Folkestone and Yarmouth. He beat Taka Naka quite convincingly last time and he will be set to rise in the ratings so could be well in. Sonny Parkin does the same by carrying a six pound penalty for his win at Newmarket last time out. He was following another decent effort so is in great fettle at present so is a live contender. As is Qualitaire Wings who caught the eye at Newmarket on his latest start when second to Mighty Moon so another bold show is expected. But for the winner we return to Gambling Spirit.
