Verdict

Athmad is 9lb lower than when dead-heating for first in this contest last year but finished a long way behind QAASID when the latter scored over track and trip a fortnight ago. Julie Camacho’s charge is 5lb higher but beat a subsequent winner and can go in again. Dinoo finished in front of Eloso at Kempton before finding one too good over a longer trip at Wolverhampton while Busby’s earlier double came in a lower grade.
