ATABAAS ALLURE may be able to complete a hat-trick at the expense of Summers Lease and Latin Tinge. Atabaas Allure failed to win in maiden company but her first venture into the handicap ranks was a successful one as she held on to beat Silent Hero by a neck. The runner-up scored on his next start and she upheld the form with a cosy success at Great Leighs from a 3lb higher mark; she's climbed a further 4lbs but could well find improvement for this step up in trip on just her sixth start. Summers Lease produced an impressive display on debut which must have helped to persuade connections to run her in Listed company on what proved to be her final start of the year. She's capable of better than she showed that day and is up to winning from this mark. Latin Tinge didn't fire on her return at Lingfield which raises obvious questions but she merits a look as does Casilda who ran a fair race on her first start for a new yard. They are by no means the only candidates in this contest but they make up our short-list which is headed by Atabaas Allure.
