Atomic force has been a major disappointment since coming over to Hong Kong from Kevin Ryan.
He won his maiden at Mussleburgh before winning a two year old group two race at Chantilly. He has been placed on the rock but otherwise has been unspectacular since in about seven starts.
Harry Bentley rides for the first time and the resultant seven pound drop means he just might post a decent run at last.
The main interest to me in this race is Zac Purton's runner. Season's wit
This horse win a maiden in Australia on last run and has gone through three barrier trials winning latest by five or six lengths. 1 on turf two on awt.
The fact that it was on the all weather tempers high hopes but the preparation has been thorough and an opening mark of 63 looks about right.
Zac Purton puts up overweight by two pounds here and that will prove significant one way or the other.

Each way

I've been wrong a few times recently so don't shoot the messenger.

Ran near to his best last time in a tough group race behind wellington and Ryan Moore last time out. Also even closer behind that rival back in April in a similar contest.
