Won this 12 months ago and added another course win in 1m handicap in July. 18/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 33 days ago. Unlikely he'll be repeating last year's heroics.

Disappointed when favourite for the Ayr Gold Cup a fortnight ago but had looked a 3-y-o on the up prior to that and no surprise were he to resume his progression now.

16/1

Excellent second of 8 to Cachet in Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f) on reappearance in April. Respectable fourth in 1m Goodwood listed race 18 days ago. Absent since but clearly capable when fresh.

Form: 5554-24

Forecasts

Dubai Poet (13/8), I'm A Gambler (4/1), Rhythm Master (13/2), Khanjar (13/2), Sonny Liston (15/2), Jump The Gun (16/1), Almohandesah (16/1), Fools Rush In (18/1), Azano (40/1)

I'M A GAMBLER recorded a really smart effort under a big weight at Leopardstown last month and can take the step up to listed company in his stride for a stable which is no stranger to success in this race. Dubai Poet and Rhythm Master may give him most to do.
