AREEN HEART cost 240,000 euros and is a half-brother to six winners. He made a steady debut at Thirsk after missing the break and this stiff uphill climb can enable him to go one better. The stable also run Buccaneers Cove and he'll improve for a staying-on debut over 6f at Ripon. Warm Love attracted support on her debut over a mile at Thirsk and looked like winning when leading at this trip but she couldn't hold the powerful burst of Anythingknappen. But the winner was well beaten in a nursery next time and though Final Chapter hails from a yard in top form he's shown little in two runs to date. Makkaar is a half-brother to three useful winners and should be ideally suited by the trip on his debut.
