Formscan  - With a lack of winning form to work with Athenian Spirit could prove popular after finishing second at Wolverhampton last month. Upped 3lb for that he will need to find more, and a chance is taken on LORD CLOUGHAN. Upped a furlong for his first start since being gelded, and wearing first-time cheekpieces, a mark of 56 may be low enough to see him mount a serious challenge. Mereside Princess is another to consider in first-time blinkers.
