Plenty of these know how to get the job done around this venue, including Split The Atom who was just touched off over this trip recently having won over 6f early this month. He is sure to be competitive again off a 1lb mark while Ishebayorgrey was beaten 1L on his return from a short break over this C&D recently. Preference now however is for TRIBAL PATH who ran well enough on reappearance here before a strong showing in the Lincolnshire and should be just about primed to add his three C&D successes. Pearl Spectre is in good heart but looks up against it on ratings while Strait Of Zanzibar has gone well fresh before and is well below his previous winning mark.
