All today's tips ›Atomic City No. 2
J. J. Slevin · Joseph Patrick O'Brien
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Atomic City heads our ratings on 115, a clear 8 lb better than Charles Darnay on 107, and that gap is the foundation of the case for him over this 16-furlong Class 1 test on good ground at Cheltenham. Charles Darnay is the chief danger, with Confused and Don Dandy both on 102 and capable of closing if the leader is below his best. Magnetude and Tiny Riot look to have more to find, and the two unrated runners, Electrical and Mix Match, add some uncertainty to a nine-runner field. Atomic City still has the strongest credentials on our figures, and he is the selection, though only with low confidence.

Patrick Magee 0/3
Fresh from a win last time out just 14 days ago, he has run over today's trip and going before, which is a solid platform. Carrying 154 lb is a burden, though, and our rating of 99 ranks him only fifth of nine.

Atomic City won last time out and returns after 34 days, having already run over today's trip and on this going, which makes him the one to beat. He carries 154 lb, the only reservation, though our 115 rating ranks him top of nine.

Sean Bowen
Olly Murphy 8/44
Don Dandy arrives in cracking nick, second last time out, a winner two starts back, and a second three starts back, with just 20 days since his last run and experience of today's trip. The risk is the 154 lb he carries, with our rating ranking him only fourth of nine.

Electrical is unexposed with no recorded form to go on, so he's open to improvement, and he returns after just 17 days off while carrying 154 lb.

Magnetude won last time out, 31 days ago, and has run over today's trip, which is a decent starting point. Carrying 154 lb, though, and ranked seventh of nine on our figures at 94, he looks an outsider who is hard to fancy.

Mix Match won last time out, his only recent run, and returns after 143 days off carrying 154 lb. He looks unexposed and open to improvement, with a yard in fine form (11 winners from 26 in the last 14 days).

Tiny Riot arrives with a winner three starts back and two seconds since, but he's been off 115 days and carries 154 lb off 105, which makes him hard to fancy; he has run over today's trip and going, though, and our figures rank him sixth of nine.
