King’s Gambit heads to Ayr for the Doonside Cup

Today we have just the one runner which is King’s Gambit. He heads to Ayr for owners Wathnan Racing to compete in the ‘ Ladbrokes Big Football Bet Builder Boosts Doonside Cup’ (Listed Race). Gambit has won 2 of his 12 starts and placed 5 times, this includes placing in Group 2 and 3 races. He has been running disappointingly of late although before going into his most recent start he did put in a much more encouraging performance when finishing 3rd out of 16 in the ‘Wolferton Stakes’ at Ascot when beaten just over a length. Today he is back over 1m2f and in a field of 6 runners. He has been drawn 4 with James Doyle taking the ride.
