      Verdict

      A modest turn out and the bookies will certainly be taking no chances about Barney Curley's Atlanticus. Placed in Irish handicaps, he would not have to be any great shakes to take this. Zaidaan at least has the form on the board in England. He dotted up at Worcester earlier in the season and was not disgraced to be third to What You Know. Knight of Silver is still a maiden after 21 starts while Bold Precedent (owned by gambler Dave Nevison) should be watched in the market.
