The race pace is assured with English Gambler as he could lead by a little or a lot. ENGLISH GAMBLER (1) is a very fast jumper and races well here. Dual winner second up. Sure to give a sight and always makes jumps racing exciting. The one to catch and beat here. LOCHWINNOCH (3) good second at last start over jumps and in a super strong jumping yard. Quinella and trifecta must here. TAHUROA HEIGHT (2) is well seasoned after three flat runs to tackle a Hurdle race now. Course proven. Rider atop is ideal as well. MONT VENTOUX (4) is proven fresh up. Twice trialled so forward enough for this. Respect for your combinations. FOXALOT (7) is now over fences this time in so is to be respected and is in a good leaping yard. Only placing came as a Hurdler. SUGGESTED PLAY: English Gambler is a win wager.
