Aerodynamic hasn't won since landing last year's renewal and has slipped down the weights as a consequence. However, he remains badly out of sorts and NOT RIGG is preferred. His recent victory over course and distance is working out well as he had today's rival West End Lad back in fourth and the latter has subsequently won at this track himself. Gary Harrison's charge is taken to confirm running and go in again. All-weather winner Fluctuation can race off a lower mark back on Turf as he's yet to score on this surface but Knight Owl remains high enough in the weights judged on a string of placed efforts and is one-paced.
