Verdict
The progressive Athlon landed a hat-trick with a victory at Kempton last week and has 6lb extra to carry. He can go well again but ECUREUIL (NAP) is also on the upgrade having won a maiden race over track and trip. Hugo Palmer’s filly looks capable of better still on today’s handicap debut and also makes more appeal than Craftsmanship, placed in a higher grade at Goodwood in July. Berlusca has won seven times on the all-weather but all at Wolverhampton but Demonstration is not out of this dropping back down in class and preferred to Prendergast Hill.
