AVITHOS travelled up from Dorset to land this 12 months ago. He’s now 4lb lower and Brian Hughes is back in the saddle for the first time since so a repeat may be on the cards. Banana Joe has proved frustrating to follow but has placed the last twice off today’s mark and Atomic Angel has to go on the shortlist having won two of her last three. She beat Fame And Hope at Hexham in December and had both Lady Vinetta and Moidore behind when successful here just over two weeks ago. Storm Force One is 0-14 and the Wetherby runner-up may be worth taking on again.
