Verdict
Aneedh only won a three-runner race over a shorter trip at Bath last time while Hernando Torres was successful in an amateurs' event at Beverley. Irish raider Lindenhurst has to race off a 14lb higher mark after scoring at Tramore and Estinaad's recent second came in a seller. ARYIZAD found only Nightster, who runs earlier on the card, too good here on her latest start and is worth another try over middle-distances now handicapping. She's preferred to the more exposed pair Hot Spice and King Of Paradise.
