Atlantic Story, Ninth House and Gifted Gamble are three against the field in this tight handicap and the nomination is given to Atlantic Story. The selection won well last time out when beating Ninth House. Now that rival is better off at the weights here but the selection is re-fitted with a tongue strap and with improvement likely he is hard to oppose. Ninth House is sure to have his supporters on these revised terms but consistency is not his strong point. Gifted Gamble is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is becoming hard to win with. Sun Catcher is better over a shorter trip while Evident Pride may need the run to sharpen him up after a 56-day absence. This is not a race where punters can be too confident but Atlantic Story looks the most solid option and is put forward as the one to beat.
