Verdict
Athary looked very green at Windsor and, though there’ll be some improvement, another run may be needed. Admiral Anson has shown nothing in a bumper and two start under Flat rules. CHARLES KINGSLEY is a half-brother to a winner and won’t need to be a world-beater to see off these, though Thawry showed a bit of form in France and looks the best of those with experience despite a couple of very moderate runs for Antony Brittain.
