Aliomaana would almost certainly have won here earlier in the month had she not fallen at the last. She will be fancied to gain compensation with a clear round today but might be worth taking on with ULTRA VIOLET, who was a miler on the Flat in France but will enjoy conditions. The market will be the best guide to all of the newcomers, however.
