Verdict
Heavy going was a legitimate excuse for ARAMAIC on his debut on Turf at Newmarket last year. He was only beaten a neck by the well-regarded Mo’asses at Kempton on his reappearance and a repeat of that effort would suffice. Aine Jordan has shown promise in two runs at Wolverhampton but Hamilton and Nottingham runner-up Imperial Eight looks the pick of the fillies.
