9/1

Form: 754131

Forecasts

Post Rider (13/8), Uppercase (6/1), Bay Of Dreams (7/1), Atlantis Blue (8/1), Atmosphere (9/1), Nanny Park (12/1), Riyadh Gem (12/1), Coolree (16/1), Molly Valentine (16/1), Blenheim Star (22/1), Marsh Benham (40/1)

A competitive opener in which it may pay to focus on the 3-y-os. ATMOSPHERE escapes a penalty for last week's Thirsk success and can make it 3-4 in handicaps. Uppercase had the form of his recent handicap debut second boosted when the winner went in again last week and is second choice ahead of James Ferguson's Bay of Dreams, who has been a model of consistency since handicapping.
