Go Ed first with Do in Gimcrack

DO OR DONOT (3.00) has hit the frame in three Group 2s in his last three starts and deserves a change of luck in the Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes at York.

Beaten only by the much-hyped colt Gstaad in the Coventry Stakes as an 80-1 shot at Royal Ascot, the Ed Walker-trained son of Space Blues then finished behind Eve Johnson Houghton's Zavateri in both the July and Vintage Stakes.

He has 10!b and more in hand with his rivals here and deserves to register his first success.

The speed merchants take centre stage today in the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes where ARIZONA BLAZE (3.35) can, well, blaze a trail to victory.
