Verdict
Aggression was beaten a nose by Alfredo Arcano here last week and though carrying a huge weight still has to be respected on that form and he's won from higher marks than this. Flawlessly has never won on the track but has gradually been finding his form since arriving from the UK but Jenniechild hasn't run since June and though in good form on Turf in the summer may just need this. Nora Batt has been running well on Turf but hasn't been placed in a dozen all-weather starts here or in the UK. BAMBARI was returning from a 491 day absence when landing a real touch here three weeks ago. He's only 1lb higher here and with further progress likely can go in again.
