ATHENIAN drops down a grade for this and can record her first win of the year. She scored twice on Polytrack last season and is just preferred to Space Artist. The latter is a course and distance winner and should be in the mix having won off a 2lb lower mark at Chester recently, while Rhagori Aur's only previous start on the all-weather resulted in a win over 5f at this track and she's not easily dismissed. Rasaman can figure with a repeat of his earlier third at Newmarket but the in-form Burren View Lady is upped a further 5lb and steps up in class here.
