Verdict
Athers ran green when third at Doncaster and has vital experience on his side but REAMS OF LOVE is by Frankel out of a Sea The Stars mare that won in Listed company in France. Mark Johnston’s debutant is an early Derby entry and will be fancied to go close in this. True Courage also has a decent pedigree and should win races but many of these will be seen to better effect over middle-distances next year.
