Verdict
A typical Beverley sprint with a number of chances but AETNA makes strong appeal. She remains a lightly-raced filly who gives the distinct impression of harbouring scope for considerable further progress. The Easterby team appear to be adopting a fairly low-key approach with their charge who seems impervious to any change in ground conditions. She was always travelling like the winner on her Newcastle reappearance and is taken to defy a 6lb rise for that victory. Bondesire compiled a consistent profile in decent handicap sprint company last term and should be in the mix once again whilst Normal Equilibrium is shortlisted for a yard that excels with sprinters. Top Boy has a chance of some each-way money off the bottom perch.
