ACCADEMIA looks capable of better again on the back of her Doncaster success and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Lightning Glory made a good start to her handicap career when second at Southwell 12 days ago and turns out again before a 3 lb rise for that kicks in. The reliable Areti wasn't far behind the Crisford's charge at Southwell and is next on the list.
