Water Pistol,Aristi and Aston are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Aristi. The selection hails from the in-form Evan Williams yard and was a fair third behind Seymour Weld, he again has conditions to suit and he looks a value bet in an open affair. Water Pistol rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed here on Saturday and is taken on with this in mind. Aston travles well in his races but finds little off the bridle and again he is opposed. Of the remainder Naomh Aaron looks the stables second string on jockey bookings while Notaproblem looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Aristi to small stakes.
