Athmad needed a change as he appeared to be going through the motions so head gear was applied along with a drop in trip which did the business!

“ATHMAD last ran over a distance this short back in 2020, but a good gallop meant that this race was run to suit him, and he stayed on from off the pace to win for the first time in over a year. That last win came off 12lb higher so he’s perfectly capable of going in again off a low-70s mark.”
