ATALANTE may be capable of giving weight away to the younger horses. She has a bit to spare with the the other four-year-old, Lily Ash, on these terms and despite returning from a lay-off, she gets the vote with Ryan Moore on board. Huddersfilly Town should improve from a recent debut and is preferred to Lily Ash and Scealtara while From A Distance makes her racecourse debut but has a middle-distance pedigree.
