Verdict

The usual suspects are on view in this seller and Aristi is taken to make amends for a recent flop although Better Moment and Roaringwater should ensure a test. Evan Williams' filly mare is far from straight forward but were she able to reproduce the form of her recent Uttoxeter victory, she would be a very warm order in this race. A blob at Huntingdon in non-selling grade appears ugly but could ensure a fair price in the ring. Better Moment needs no introduction to devotees of selling races. The ten-year-old doesn't always find as much as he promises but he put up a fair run at Fontwell behind Quick in a similar contest and could be dangerous if gaining a soft lead. Roaringwater has struggled to win races and is dropped into this grade for the first time. His completion record makes him a risky proposition despite the ease in grade. Royal Prodigy has a bit to prove on the likely going as does Cornish Orchid, who folded dramatically after trying to make all in a staying hurdle at the track last month. Not a race that will live long in the memory and Aristi is put forward with the usual reservations that this betting medium provides.
