HIDEO has dropped a fair way down the weights since joining Micky Hammond and with the yard among the winners, he could be a sporting shout in an opener that appears to be wide open. Court At Slip won at Newcastle in March and the booking of Brian Hughes is significant while On We Go has made decent progress from a basement figure having won at Ayr and Cartmel. Atomic Angel and Coral Blue are at least match fit and money for either participant would prove to be particularly noteworthy but Piaff Bubbles faded tamely on his most recent start at Wetherby and can do better.
