AIMERIC was very weak in the betting ahead of his recent run at Royal Ascot and while he disappointed there, his form prior to that experience had been largely progressive. Kihavah is proving a fine standard bearer for the skills of Adrian Keatley and the gelding has won four races in a row (including a hurdle at Market Rasen). Godolphin have been patient with Live Your Dream and he has put in two creditable runs since returning from a massive layoff. Torcello was ahead of Berkshire Rocco when they met at Newmarket in May but conditions will be markedly different on this occasion and the market will guide.
