This looks a decent maiden for the track with several likely improvers in opposition. ARISTOCRATIC is the first foal to race of Sun Chariot and Lockinge winner Peeress and has an entry in the Coronation Stakes. She showed definite promise in her first season, placing twice over this trip at Newmarket, and should make a decent three-year-old. War Story made a promising start at Kempton in November when only beaten half-a-length and Raven's Corner, a half-brother to two winners, wasn't disgraced at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago despite showing signs of inexperience. Tigerwolf is more exposed and may do better in handicaps.
