Verdict
Athmad has won three times over the track and trip in recent weeks but looked a few pounds high as a consequence last Sunday. Precision Storm, who finished a close fifth, was going on at the finish and is taken to reverse the form. He also holds Richard R H B on earlier form here as he was conceding 2lb when beaten a head by David Loughnane's charge, who now has to concede 3lb. However, the form pick is GREY D'ARS (NAP), who was also beaten a head by the latter in an amateurs' race here earlier and is 7lb better off. Termonator had dropped to a decent mark at Newcastle and is only up 2lb.
