Verdict
Just Later improved on his latest start when placed over track and trip while San Carlos may do better over this extra distance after finishing fifth at Kempton. Red Skye Delight finished in front of Crimson Kiss over today's trip at Kempton on her introduction and is another likely improver but AIGIARNE will not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start. She's a half-sister to three winning sprinters, including stablemate Chagatai, and Clive Cox' yard is in good form at present.
