    Verdict

    ATHWAAB was raised 9lb for last month's win at Nottingham but still acquitted himself well at Bath last week when second to Bateleur. Noel Quinlan's charge can get the better of rivals that are mostly struggling for form. Miss Firefly posted an improved effort at Wolverhampton last time but remains 3lb higher than her last win. She still makes more appeal than the remaining trio though Wanchai Whisper is now back on a winning mark for the first time since scoring at Windsor last summer.
