Verdict

Attorney General was very easy to back when making a belated debut over 10f at Warwick earlier in the month but belied the lack of confidence with a narrow success. The son of Sadler's Wells is open to significant improvement and should prove even more effective over this longer trip. Team-Mate took advantage of a drop in grade when getting off the mark in a Yarmouth maiden last time and will find this tougher under a penalty and Tandava, who looked unlucky in running last time, and recent Doncaster maiden winner Shasta look bigger dangers.
