It may be worth sticking with ATHANIA whilst Sarah Park and Credit Swap are likely to have their supporters. Plenty of runners but none with claims that make us jump up and down although a reasonable case can be made for Athania. She benefited from the fitting of a visor to land her first race in almost a year when pouncing late at Chester and may be able to repeat the feat. Credit Swap produced a relentless gallop to wear down Burns Night at Ascot and has leading claims on that evidence although a 4lb rise leaves him closely matched at the weights with third home Effigy. Sarah Park is likely to try and make all and there are few better jockeys to have on board in that scenario than Dettori but the recent indication has been that the handicapper has her measure. A good few more have possibilities if back to their best but there are some fairly big ifs doing the rounds in this field so we'll go with Athania.
