Aleas was only beaten a neck on good to soft at Salisbury and showed the benefit by making all on heavy ground at Newbury. His half-brother won on the all-weather so the track shouldn't be a problem. Little Kitten made a successful debut on good going at Nottingham and didn't enjoy the testing ground in Listed company at Newbury. Surprise Picture was an easy winner over the track and trip but is 13lb higher while Mickydee could be a few pounds high after his second at Wolverhampton. OUT OF REASON also finished runner-up on the latter track behind a stable companion and, though 3lb higher, looks the one to be on with Jim Crowley retaining the ride.
