Atletico found only Caspian Prince too good in a conditions race at Newcastle last month. But the latter finished behind runner-up KIMBERELLA (NAP) in a Listed contest at Lingfield a week ago and Richard Fahey’s sprinter gets the nod back on that form now back handicapping. Royal Birth has something to find with the selection on latest running and Bowson Fred finished behind Atletico at Newcastle and also second-placed Tomily here in December. Boom The Groom has been thereabouts in lower grade sprints recently and Orvar won a Class 4 handicap at Kempton back in October.
