Mount Atlas is the selection, preferred to the top-rated Tabletalk on a more progressive profile even though he sits second on our figures. He has been freakishly consistent without getting his head in front, and that upward trajectory is the case for taking him on over this test at York. Tabletalk, Epic Poet and Arabian Force are the obvious dangers on the figures, and this is only a low-confidence verdict given how tightly matched the principals are.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
