Atreus is running well enough to get involved in a race like this and wasn't beaten far over 7f here on Friday. Hawk Moth only found one too good in a couple of start at Brighton last month but Roxy Lane's form has been indifferent since she won at the Sussex track in August. INCURS FOUR FAULTS pulled hard and wandered off a straight line when only fifth over track and trip last week but that was his first start on Tapeta and he's better than that. This won't take much winning so he gets another chance with Hazel Blue having been off the track for a year and having a first start for new connections today. Can You Reverse has first-time blinkers so any market support should be noted.
