Davis Hoping for Good Show from ato
10/11/10

ato rocketed up the handicap this summer when landing a four-timer and Jo Davis’ charge heads to Cheltenham on Saturday, November 13, for his stiffest test yet, a tilt at Long Run and it’s a stiff ask but he will go there and do his best. I know it’s a handicap but ato’s at the top of his game and a lot of those horses will have improvement in them.

“We are limited as to where we can go with him because there aren’t many 0-150 races about and he would have to carry too much weight in 0-145 races. He’s tiny so doesn’t carry the weight very well.

“I am hoping that Tom O’Brien can do 10st 1lb to ride him on Saturday and the horse will go and have a nice day out. Realistically, we’re going there for the owners - it’s a good day out for them and we might as well give it a go while we’ve got him at this standard.”
