Athletic has been thereabouts in this grade lately and won at Kempton last month. However, that remains his sole success and he's not proved as effective here in the past. Media Jury races on this track for the first time and is still a couple of pounds higher than when successful at Wolverhampton in January but Mary's Pet is starting to look well handicapped and Warbond also has the past form to figure. TENBRIDGE has been dropped 3lb since last week's second at Wolverhampton, however, and should take all the beating.
