Aspirant has won three times on Polytrack but has only been placed once on Turf yet is on the same mark. At the other end of the weights, See The Sun scored twice in the summer including here and competed at a higher level later. He should win races this season as should his stablemate Kenny The Captain, who won three of his last four, all over this trip on soft ground. Quiet Warrior has run twice on Polytrack, gaining a very easy victory in a minor event at Kempton, and could be a blot on this handicap though KHALICE is a more likely winner. Richard Fahey's filly scored twice at Ripon before failing to make an impact in a major sales race at Doncaster and this should be within her scope. Her stablemate Foxy Clarets has some strong form yet lurks at the bottom of this handicap with Paul Hanagan on board so is worth a second look. The reappearing Jazz could prove best of the remainder.
