Miss Nay Never has won three times on Tapeta but is 0-9 on Turf. Digital beat Kraken Power when successful at Ripon but was a length behind A Pint Of Bear at Goodwood and is worse off at the weights. Imperium Blue could figure back over 5f but Atalis Bay was running well in Listed company prior to coming up short against older horses in a Group 3 at Sandown and may have benefited from a short break. However, he only beat BLIND BEGGAR half-a-length at Haydock late last season in a race that’s produced a host of winners. Richard Fahey’s charge is 8lb better off now, despite having done little wrong this year. Blackrod was second over 6f here before winning at Newmarket but is having a first try over the minimum trip.
