        Verdict

        Atlantic City is the pick over Garrigon and Alexander Sapphire. None of these have impressed too much so far, but Atlantic City does at least boast enough placed form to be given the vote. The Lydia Richards inmate has in fact gone close on a number of occasions in the past, including twice on Turf in the autumn of 2003. More recently, the son of First Trump has been plying his trade here at Lingfield, and again went close when beaten in a blanket finish behind Serbelloni just before Christmas. He looked the likely winner turning for home but failed to hit top gear in time, and may once again be susceptible to something with a turn of foot. However, it is debatable if any of this lot can muster the necessary kick to stop him, and he has another good opportunity to lose that maiden tag. Garrigon turns out quickly after his second in a moderate apprentice affair at Southwell and is hard to fancy too much, while Alexander Sapphire kept on well enough on her British debut in November but was only of average ability in Ireland. Basically, Atlantic City has been found a good opening and connections will be disappointed if he does not take it.
