Get on for a Shack attack on Trawler

MOUNT ATLAS (1.50) is fancied to navigate his way through the field for first in the Sky Bet Handicap.

The four-year-old has been allotted 10st after he defied a similar weight at Ascot over 1m 4f last month.

Well-backed at the market summit, Mount Atlas travelled through the race as the best horse and stayed on for a length verdict.

Runner-up Night Breeze franked the form over course and distance subsequently so a 5lb rise looks within range.

Ascot Gold Cup titleholder Trawlerman holds the aces in the Group Two Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup, having spent quite some time in the shadow of staying titan Kyprios.

Effective at two miles, he has to carry a Group One penalty with Will Buick in charge of getting the fractions spot-on again.

Odds of 8-13 reflect his chance, so SHACKLETON (2.25) is put up as a plausible alternative receiving a stone from the favourite.
