Verdict

Beaten in the Britannia here last month, ATRIUM drops back down class having won over the straight mile here before that. He gets another chance in this given Cosmic Desert races over a shorter distance with a hood applied having returned a losing favourite the last twice. Royal Rift and King Cabo won their latest starts with the former preferred on his success at Newmarket while Bling On The Music just missed out at Windsor and makes his handicap debut.
