Just 3lb separates the six runners in this according to official ratings. Teaming up with Andrea Atzeni, ASHINGTON (NAP) was only beaten a neck in first-time cheekpieces in a Leicester handicap last month. That is the best piece of recent form on offer and he can finally get his head in front. Suprematism has been placed twice at Wolverhampton but is making his Turf debut. Teaser arrives with an almost identical profile but Bossiney Bay is probably improving. Lumi and Dawn Dancer are already looking exposed.
