Verdict

BABY CAR has hinted at ability in better company and, though a beaten favourite at Exeter at the start of the month, may be worth another chance in a race that probably won't take much winning. Royaume Bleu ran his best race so far when fourth to Gentleman Jimmy at Plumpton and Constant Cupid did likewise over a shorter trip here in November. The lightly-weighted Aeronautica and Artic Pride were both well beaten behind De Forgotten Man at Towcester last month but neither can be ignored in this modest affair.
