In depth
Verdict
Ed Dunlop's stable has been quiet this term but there are signs of a slow recovery and Atheer should be ready to strike following two promising placed efforts in similar company at Doncaster and Epsom. The step up in trip will suit and should prove hard to beat at this level. Literacy failed to confirm debut promise when disappointing last time but newcomer Persian Jasmine makes plenty of appeal on breeding and should be noted in the market.
