Athmad has yet to race on the Polytrack but has a good strike rate on Tapeta having won four times at Wolverhampton. He drops back down in class today but was beaten by Howzer Black earlier and the latter subsequently finished ahead of Crimewave when runner-up over a shorter trip. Marion's Boy beat SHEILA a nose over course and distance back in November and the latter failed to stay 1m4f on her latest start. Hugo Palmer’s filly may well reverse running with headgear applied today. Uther Pendragon has placed in lower grade contests recently while Stormy Night debuts for a new yard having won in Germany and France.
