Verdict
The veteran Athollblair Boy is 6-34 here but has been beaten three times off this mark in recent weeks. KRATOS looked one to follow when landing a novices' race here in 2020 but has only raced twice subsequently. He'll be better for last month's run at Southwell and can start making up for lost time. Triggered is only 1lb higher than when landing a Class 4 handicap at Lingfield last summer while Burrows Seeside completed a double here in 2020 and has been racing very consistently all winter. Spartan Fighter has been racing in better company and has dropped to a winnable mark while Caribbean Sunset made a winning debut for the Crisford yard back in 2020 and only ran twice subsequently.
