Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAthenian Spirit sits two pounds behind the joint top-rated pair on these figures, but a progressive profile makes her the more appealing proposition over Singarda and Hear The Drums, both of whom appear closer to their ceiling. Miss Mambo also warrants respect as the pick of the remainder in a wide-open Class 6 contest over this Southwell mile. On balance, Athenian Spirit offers the most upside in the field. **Athenian Spirit** is the selection.
