MOUNT ATHOS (1) resumed over 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by a head. Has a solid second-up record and is a great chance to get the prize again. NORTHERN EXPRESS (2) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance in the LR Guisborough Stakes at Redcar over 1400m six months ago. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. PABORUS (3) has not appeared since he scored over 1400m at Southwell All Weather on October 17. Makes plenty of appeal. FLIGHT PLAN (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 4/12/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1600m in the LR Hyde Stakes at Kempton Park All Weather. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
