      Verdict

      In a Lady Amateur Rider's race where none of the contenders jump off the page preference is with ARAGALL after his solid UK debut with Tres Froide and Starburst looking the dangers. Trainer George Baker has turned a few moderate German imports in winners over the last year and the pick could be next. He ran a credible fourth of 10 behind Dream Win at Wolverhampton on his first UK start and with a win on turf in Germany he should show up in the mix off a fair mark in a race that won't take much winning. Tres Froide showed a spark of form when a well held third at Newcastle on his last run so now 1lb below his last winning mark he has to be considered if building on that in a weaker race. Starburst is considered on the pick of his form while Hurricane Thomas' short head defeat to Sceilen last season offers hope of a big run of this low looking mark. It won't take a special performance to win this and Aragall can build on his UK Debut.
