Verdict
ATHEBY has the best form of those with experience. He had little chance in a Group 3 over track and trip last time and should find life easier in this company. The others with racecourse experience have yet to figure though Holiday faced a tough task in a Listed race on his debut. Damaar’s dam is related to a Group 1 winner and should be noted representing the Gosden’s yard while Wodeton is a half-brother to the smart Salateen among others.
