KING ATHELSTAN had slipped down the weights before winning in this lowly grade at Brighton last week. He won with a bit to spare and may be worth sticking with, despite a penalty. Shamonix went close over track and trip last time with Angel Of The North back in fourth while Gift From God and Ronni Layne have both been thereabouts here recently with the latter preferred. Cat Royale was placed over a mile last week and the lightly-raced Oakley Mimosa steps up in trip.
