Verdict
ATALANTA BAY left her previous form behind when returning from a lay-off at Kempton. She scored by eight lengths and can defy a penalty with today's opposition offering little in the way of recent form. El Libertador went close here last month with Jody Bear back in fourth but the remainder arrive out of sorts. Hazzaat has tumbled down the weights but has failed to beat a rival in his last couple of outings, while Lacey may have finished third at Southwell last time, but was still beaten out of sight.
