Verdict
Bolt N Brown’s earlier second here came over 2m in an amateurs' race while Atalanta Queen has won over a mile at the track but has yet to race over this far and the same comments apply to Palazzo. Optima Petamus makes more appeal on an earlier placed effort over course and distance but a chance is taken PHOENIX DAWN handles the surface. He returned to the Flat with a decent third behind higher rated horses in a seller at Lingfield last time and Luke Morris stays loyal back in handicap company.
