1/1
Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 16/1) 10 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Carries penalty but he's unexposed over middle distances and is expected to be bang there.

First run since leaving B. Seemar when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 25/1) on UK debut 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time and she has a lot to prove.

Seventh of 9 in novice event at Windsor (8.1f, soft) 52 days ago. Significantly up in trip now handicapping, which will suit on breeding so he's one to consider,

Forecasts

Royal Athena (1/1), Alex The Great (5/2), Philos (9/2), Atwixaday (12/1), La Espanola (18/1), Calleveryoneuknow (28/1), Deshi Girl (28/1), Mellow Mood (50/1)

Verdict

ROYAL ATHENA produced a big career best on her first crack at this trip when successful here 10 days ago and a penalty won't stop a very bold follow-up bid. Fellow last-time-out scorer Philos is the obvious threat, with Alex The Great a potential improver tackling a more suitable trip.
