Faintly beat lower rated opposition in a seller on the all-weather track here last time and AQUA ARDENS is preferred. George Baker’s charge was placed in a Class 2 handicap as recently as November and has leading claims if running up to his mark. Clement is another dropping down in class with every chance at the weights but Moonlight Venture disappointed in a seller at Redcar last time albeit in soft ground and Boycie was well beaten in claiming company at Southwell last week.
