    Verdict

    AIMEZ LA VIE finished ahead of Undiscovered Angel when runner-up at Chester last year and found only one too good again on her reappearance at Catterick last month. Richard Fahey’s filly can open her account in this despite the unfavourable terms with Cheerfilly, placed on her comeback run at Chester a fortnight ago. Palace Ball is related to a winner but doesn’t look to have an easy task on her debut.
