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.

  1. ROYAL ATHENA
  2. PHILOS (IRE)
  3. ALEX THE GREAT (IRE)
