Didn't really kick on from his debut win as a 2yo (5f, good) but his two defeats in the autumn came in good company; gelded over the winter and still has some potential but stall 13 is tough on his handicap debut.

Won twice as a 2yo, notably a 5f nursery (good to soft) at Haydock in September; gelded afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Wolverhampton in March, narrowly failing to reel in one who has since boosted the form; appeals as being ahead of his mark, despite a 2lb rise for Wolverhampton, but stall 12 isn't ideal.

Displayed plenty of ability in his five-race 2yo campaign and well backed ahead of last month's reappearance at Sandown (5f, good), where he was a 3l sixth of nine having been slowly away and denied a clear passage; could have a part to play if things pan out more favourably today.

The winner of a 6f maiden at Newcastle on her debut in February and a 6f fillies' novice at Wolverhampton in March; on both occasions she has been slowly away before producing a strong finishing effort and almost certainly better than the bare form; missing the break at 5f in a competitive handicap may cause an issue but her ceiling is yet to be established.

His Ascot novice win last September came over 6f and on soft ground; well beaten over 6f here on Wednesday and he has stall 14 to contend with now dropping to 5f for the first time.

Improved for a gelding operation, winning a Southwell handicap in January and running well in defeat twice last month (closely matched with Proof on Southwell form); has the inside stall and should make a bold bid.

Kickstarted 2026 with gutsy 5f Southwell success in April but suffered early interference when ninth in 5f Chester handicap nine days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back.

Promising second of 14 on seasonal/stable debut at Thirsk (5f, good) last month and filled the same position at Chester (5f, good) last Friday, when inconvenienced by early interference before finishing off strongly; firmly in calculations.

Three 5f wins around a left-hand turn on AW; clobbered by the handicapper for his two wins for Stuart Williams over the winter and he has come up short in better company since; sold for 8,000gns last month; vulnerable back on turf on his stable debut.

Latest Ripon run is not the one to judge him on as he didn't handle the track; earlier Southwell third didn't suggest he was ahead of the handicapper; well drawn back at 5f but this is a step up in class.

Temple Of Athena owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (55) and market confidence (77). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
