In depth
Verdict
Aries did well to run as well as she did, after she got loose and galloped free before her debut at Salisbury. She is open to improvement at this trip and will take the beating. Diamond Orchid turned in a sound effort on her debut and is respected, as is Precious Freedom, who will be more at home over this trip having failed to stay last time. Paddy Winalot, a half-brother five winners, would not have to be anything special to land this, but Saif Sareea will need to improve to have a shout.
