Verdict
The presence of Richard Hughes on WILLIAM'S WAY gives a signal that one might be ready to win again but in a wide open handicap Any Given Moment should push him close and Joe Fanning should be able to get a tune out Aaman at a price. Hughesy has a good record when riding for Ian Wood and William's Way is looking well treated now based on his runaway success at Southwell at the start of the year. Granted he is better on the artificial stuff but he has won on turf so with a top man in the saddle he has a good chance. Any Given Moment progressed in two starts this term to just get up at Chepstow so it was disappointing he couldn't go better again from this mark at Yarmouth but that run was too bad to be true. Aaman also should be capable off this rating after his own easy win on the Fibresand in February and although disappointing next time up he may have needed his return run last time. Mutadarrej made a nice debut for this yard on his latest and should build on that but in a tight race William's Way is the way to go.
