Paul Nicholls has a very good record in this race and will go close to expanding on the record with Santenay, who is readily preferred over Keltic Bard and Don Fernando. However, he may just meet his match Atum Rae, who has some solid form to his name and could be too progressive a rival today. The son of Be My Native may have been flattered to get so close to Thisthatantother on a couple of occasion this term but has shaped as if he can win a decent prize when everything goes his way. This course should suit his forceful style of running and Atum Rae is the value call to out-gun his sextet of rivals this afternoon.
