ATHASSEL hs won each of his last two outings and can defy a double penalty to complete the hat-trick in this amateur riders event. The selection finished runner-up under today's jockey at Wolverhampton last month and the pair can go one better here at the expense of Space War who has run won with today's rider in the saddle in the past and Ebony N Ivory who has the assistance of a leading amateur rider here.
