Aaim To Prosper hasn't won since his 2010 Cesarewitch victory but was only beaten a nose by Chiberta King in a Listed race at Sandown last summer. The pair met again in the same race this year when occupying the places behind CAVALRYMAN and this time the positions were reversed by a short-head so there's nothing between the pair. The winner, one of three here trained by Saeed Bin Suroor, scored very easily and would take this on that form but didn't run as well behind Times Up in the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup at York last time when stablemate Lost In The Moment finished over three lengths in front of him. The latter hasn't won since Meydan in January of last year but a repeat of that latest effort would see him go close though it's more than likely that his stable companion just wasn't at his best and he's taken to return to winning ways. Caucus has been disappointing but today's quicker ground could bring about a revival.
