Verdict

JUST A GAMBLER left his debut form behind and shaped better than the bare result to boot when a good third in a Pontefract novice over this trip 2 weeks ago, the big move he made into contention eventually telling on him late on. He can confirm the promise of that effort here with further progress anticipated. The Wicked Wolf rates the main danger to Charlie Johnston's colt, with newcomer Al Za'ama and White Deer others worthy of note.
