KALO ATHENA (7) was below best in a. Rebounded gaining a hurdle win over 3m at Wetherby. Confidence up and looks primed to go on with it. Leading contender. DILLARCHIE (6) lifted sharply when 3L second attempting 3m1 1/2f at Catterick after a Wetherby failure. Stays well and could be prominent again. Holds claims. FIVEAFTERFOUR (3) came down on hurdle debut contesting a 2m4 1/2f Musselburgh chase. Ability there if keeping upright. Tackling this test rates an each-way player. Warrants consideration. WAINWRIGHT (8) returns after a break. Was pulled up in a 3m Ayr chase on comeback. Needs to bounce back though taking on this more suitable set-up might see improvement. Place hope.
