In depth

Verdict

ATALANTA BREEZE makes a belated seasonal reappearance though she has won at the track in the past and her trainer is more than capable of getting one ready first time out. Silver Bubble is sure to be popular following her victory over It's How We Roll last Monday and the hat-trick bid is very much on. Rechercher didn’t give her rider much help in a Newbury maiden yet this is a rare Ralph Beckett raider and she must be respected accordingly. Night Eagle found disappointingly little on a previous start at Brighton having travelled with purpose.
