Verdict

ATLETICO has been unfortunate not to taste success recently where he has been bang in contention at the finish, but has had to settle for the runner-up spot on his last two starts. He is dropping down in trip slightly here in what looks a great chance for him to go one place better than his latest attempt at Kempton. Round The Island has been successful on four occasions at this C&D so he always has to be respected here. Expect the gelding to go close to another win at this track, while Echo Of Lightning can fill the placings off this latest mark.
  1. Atletico
  2. Round The Island
  3. Echo Of Lightning
