In depth

Verdict

ATHMAD has been here for his last four starts and won three of them. He's only up 4lb for his latest victory where he looked to have a bit in hand. Sandret only just failed to concede 6lb to Perfect Swiss at Newcastle and looks certain to make a bold bid but My Target has struggled since his track and trip victory in March but has now dropped to a reasonable mark. Blow Your Horn cost a whopping 200,000gns but that hasn't looked money well spent in two runs at Newcastle. He's been gelded and may improve for a change of surrounding
