Right back on song off reduced mark when landing handicap at Kempton in October in what was otherwise a below-par season. Has a good record here (second in 2019 Stewards' Cup) and yard going well.

Useful sprinter who has an excellent record here, winning 3 of his 4 starts (all over this trip). Won on his reappearance last year so big run expected.

Useful sprinter who often gives his running. Handicapper has given him a chance on his return to turf though he did seem unsuited by this track on his only run here in 2019.

C&D maiden winner last summer. Reached the frame in 6f handicaps next 2 starts and shaped as if needing the run at Windsor on return. Remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Bimble (9/4), Atalanta's Boy (5/2), Open Wide (9/2), Concierge (6/1), Top Breeze (13/2), Green Power (12/1), Minhaaj (16/1)

Verdict

ATALANTA'S BOY has an excellent record here, recording his third C&D win in a class 2 handicap last summer, and should make a bold bid having won on his reappearance last season. Open Wide is another who has strong C&D form so must be respected for his in-form yard, while the unexposed Bimble should come on for her return.

  1. ATALANTA'S BOY
  2. OPEN WIDE (USA)
  3. BIMBLE (IRE)
