Athmad²⁴

15/2

Landed a third C&D success last month and added to his tally when dead-heating at Newcastle (10.2f, 3/1) 9 days later. Can't discount in current mood but bit more needed after further 3 lb rise.

Forecasts

Fountain Cross (15/8), Dingle (2/1), Dawaam (3/1), Sarvan (3/1), Athmad (15/2), Casting Vote (20/1)

A useful handicap. SARVAN quickened up nicely to win at Lingfield last month and might be up to defying a 5 lb rise as he went close off a higher mark last year. Dingle has a progressive record on AW and is feared most ahead of hat-trick seeking Athmad.
