Gweedore placed in a higher grade at York last week but has yet to win outside of Scotland while Atrium drops down in class having won off a higher mark here last autumn.

GAME SET (NAP) shrugged off a penalty at Wolverhampton to remain unbeaten having scored over track and tip on his debut and Owen Burrows’ progressive colt is taken to make winning handicap debut.
