In depth
Verdict
Dr Red Eye ended a long losing run when scoring over track and trip last month with Misu Pete back in fourth though he prevailed by only a short-head. Athletic should finish closer back down at this level and was ahead of Binky Blue when runner-up here earlier but HIDDEN GEM finally looks set to open her account. She was a couple of lengths ahead of Wink Oliver when second at Chelmsford last week and should go close again with a similar effort.
