Atmospheric High was beaten narrowly by Raydari over the C&D last month but has a big enough pull in the weights to take his revenge on the winner, who only just failed to complete a hat-trick when run out of it by Silverlord a month ago. Close up in third that day was REDERA, who looked the likely winner throughout but failed to quicken in the closing stages. Ridden for stamina this time, Tony Martin's three-times winning hurdler can add to his lone success over the C&D in 2010. Shake The Bucket hasn't quite been able to get there in his last two starts here and appears to go better for Megan Carberry though Boots Madden has won on him in the past. Moo Sahara won a maiden here last month but hasn't been done too many favours by the assessor.
