Athollblair Boy is a consistent sort at this level and has gone well here in the past. He finished a length ahead of Harbour Vision when runner-up over track and trip in June but the latter is now 3lb better off. Daniel Deronda, in good form recently at Leicester, is one of three David O’Meara entries but Musahaba is closely matched with Nat Love on Newcastle running. TAMASKA failed to cope with a penalty at York having beaten Enderman earlier at Redcar. He’s 4lb lower here and Andrea Atzeni looks a significant booking.
