Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMount 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.
