At The Races’ Declan Rix…
“I’m happy to take the favourite on in More Thunder and the step up in class worries me. To be fair to him he did well to win the Bunbury Cup, and he beat a horse who loves the course having switched around on the track.
“I am siding with King’s Gamble. He is an infinite horse and Ralph Beckett has taken his time with him and thought extremely of him as a three-year-old. He is had his points and [they] clearly did not assume he had any points final time given the gamble on him late from 25/1. He ran a stormer over six furlongs final time and the step as much as seven furlongs ought to assist him much more.”
Host Dave Orton…
“Witness Stand is fascinating having gained the Lennox Stakes and once I spoke to Jamie Insole they assume the world of him. It could have seemed as if he acquired the run of the race, however they believed he was going nice at house. Penalties have been defied loads of occasions on this race and assume he’ll run properly right here.
“Great Generation is overpriced if she goes back to her Lingfield form. Marco Ghiani gets back on after running over six furlongs at Royal Ascot. This race has a record of horses who have bitten off more than they can chew and she is one of these in here.”
BetVictor’s Sam Boswell…
“I really like King’s Gamble! This was a massive effort last time, having missed the break and raced on his own on the far side. There are a few too many seconds to his name which would be a little negative for me but he’s going to come on again for his run again last time.
“I appreciated him for the handicap up at York subsequent week, however he comes right here as a substitute. There may be extra to come back from him and the step up will assist him reverse the shape with Rage Of Bamby so long as he does not bounce.”
