Athmad^b³^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69| CD

5/1

Blinkered and back to winning ways in 10-runner handicap (28/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 3 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Carries 4 lb penalty but this 5-time course scorer is well in the mix.

Form: 60-8641

Age: 8| Weight: 8-9| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 71| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 11/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

Dream Harder (7/2), What's The Story (4/1), Brains (9/2), Athmad (5/1), Precision Storm (6/1), Quick Change (10/1), Harbour Vision (11/1), Larado (12/1), Inigo Jones (18/1), Devasboy (40/1), Sly Madam (100/1)

Lots with chances. DREAM HARDER resumed winning ways here last time and Ian Williams' likeable 4-y-o is weighted to have a big say once more raised just 2 lb. Recent Southwell victor Athmad is feared most under a 4 lb penalty, with C&D scorer Harbour Vision and the returning Quick Change also not taken lightly.
