ARARAT makes some appeal in a competitive opener. The Simcock colt posted a likeable debut at Yarmouth's Eastern Festival meeting when staying on nicely behind Zoology. The winner was thought good enough to tackle the Group 1 Middle Park next time up and the third has won since. Lady Mojito shaped nicely on debut at Thirsk and rates a threat along with Sir Jock Bennett. Hills Of Gold and Tipp Town revealed debut promise and both should progress accordingly.
