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.
