In depth
Verdict
The three with experience look nothing special so this should go to a newcomer. I'm A Gambler was a €72,000 foal but changed hands for only £47,000 as a yearling and he’s likely to do better over middle-distance as a three-year-old. CROUPIER cost 100,000gns as a yearling and is from the same family as the smart Saamid and Talmada. He is the yard’s first juvenile runner of the season on Turf but the stable is in good form and a big run is expected. Mystery Fox looks a danger being a 260,000gns full brother to the smart Golden Goal while there is speed in the pedigree of Penywern Taverner. Tolstoy is by Kingman and also makes plenty of appeal on paper.
