ATHENIAN SPIRIT signalled he is ready to get off the mark when a very good Lingfield second recently (form been franked) so looks the way to go. Ollie Sangster's handicap debutante Exhibition Match could emerge as the chief threat, although She's Crafty is weighted to go well if back on song and Electrocution also needs considering.
