      In depth

      Verdict

      Last Date returned a disappointing favourite last time having narrowly beaten Velvet Vista over track and trip before that. The latter went on to land a double and both of the above get a change of headgear today. Frow still looks high enough in the weights but ARAMIS GREY has been raised only 2lb for winning over 6f at Kempton and Rae Guest’s filly can make another bold bid having won over today’s trip last year.
