      Verdict

      ATALANTA BREEZE won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton in September and placed over 2m here last time when ahead of Pianissimo. She gets a change of headgear and looks the one to side with in this company. Seagulls Nest is fitted with a visor having run below par on last week’s debut for new connections and the veteran Berrahri is preferred off his current mark. Neverbeen To Paris hasn’t won on the Flat since 2018 though was successful over hurdles last month.
