Verdict
Most of these have something to prove but not OWL OF ATHENS, who bolted up at Huntingdon. Evan Williams' charge appeared to relish the testing conditions that day and with similar ground in store, he looks to have been found another fine opportunity. Wonder Of The Seas has failed to complete the last twice, but earlier efforts suggest he's the main threat. The Grey Man is next best.
Expert View Verdict
OWL OF ATHENS had plenty in hand when winning last time so if his stamina holds up over this longer trip he should defy an 8lb rise. He's proven on heavy ground and he should once again get a decent pace to aim at likely set by Wonder Of The Seas. He needed the run last time following a wind op but has slipped to a dangerous mark on his form prior to a lay off. He looks the biggest danger ahead of The Grey Man who was poor last time over hurdles but would've placed if not for falling off 1lb higher on his last chase run.
