Verdict
Geelong was winning for the first time since 2021 when scoring easily at Kempton but is penalised. Lawmans Blis won at Wolverhampton earlier in the month to end a long losing run but SILVER ATOM is less exposed. The latter bellied odds of 50/1 at Bath on only his fourth start on the Flat and there looks more to come over the distance. Ana Emaraaty placed in a lower grade over track and trip but both Visitant and Churchella ran below par on the soft going at Thirsk last time.
