    Verdict

    Arnica is best watched having finished tailed off on his reappearance. Ernest Gray still has a bit of scope but the going may be too quick for Our Bill's Aunt. AILES D’AMOUR didn’t have much to beat at Warwick a week ago but escapes a penalty so gets 16lb, less Bradley Harris’ claim, from chaser Seigneur Des As, who has only placed once in four starts over hurdles.
