Verdict
Aramram is a half-brother to two winners over this trip but Military Artist may be a more interesting newcomer. He’s also a half-brother to two winners and changed hands for 360,000gns earlier this year. Dark Tornado is almost certain to improve on a debut sixth at Sandown while American Bay was keeping on when second over 6f at Salisbury. Despite showing signs of inexperience, GHOSTWRITER was impressive at Newmarket and will make a bold bid to defy his penalty. Spun To Gold showed plenty of promise when third at Kempton and can chase him home.
