Atticus Boy gave notice of an imminent victory when a close third at Yarmouth and duly obliged at Kempton for which a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Enmeshing has only been raised 2lb for beating My Fantasea, who runs earlier, over the track and trip so is also on the shortlist. Essenaitch had been threatening to win before doing so at Chepstow though the going was soft that day so DRAP D'OR (NAP) looks the one to be on. Luca Cumani's colt showed much improved form at Nottingham where he stayed on nicely at the finish over that 1m2f. He reportedly lost a shoe so it was a creditable performance and he can prove better than a 72-rated handicapper.
