Verdict

ATLANTIS CROSSING looks set to make the most of a slide down the weights having gone close over today's trip at Kempton last time. He finished ahead of Rouge Nuage on that occasion and should confirm running. Smokethatthunders is back on the same mark as when scoring over track and trip in December while Wickhambrook was placed at the track on a couple of occasions before running poorly at Kempton. Peril is unexposed and may do better now handicapping for the first time.
