In depth
Verdict
ATAMAN (NAP) made a promising start when second at Windsor on last month's debut over 1m2f. This longer trip should suit on that evidence and he is less exposed than Who Dares Wins. The latter ran well for third over 1m4f at Newbury last time and Tom Marquand's allowance helps his cause but Suzi Icon and Bunker Hill Lass may struggle to figure on what they have shown so far.
