Verdict
Tony Soprano was fourth at Nottingham on his first run since being gelded and he’ll improve further when going beyond a mile. He’s been dropped a couple of pounds so looks the danger to likely favourite DARK BLUE. Mick Channon’s filly only found one too good stepped up to a mile at Bath, though has been raised 3lb since. Atalanta Queen has been running well over 6f but this is a step into the unknown and she’s now visored after failing to justify favouritism at Lingfield last month. Puramente may do better now handicapping but he’ll need to.
