Verdict
Aoife's Joy confirmed the notion that she was running into form when battling home over this trip at Haydock in an apprentice contest recently and has a clear follow-up chance. LEXINGTON WARFARE was fourth in that Haydock contest but did not receive the smoothest of passages before coming home strongly. He had previously run very well over this trip at Newcastle and could well reverse placings here with a clear run. Most of the others can be afforded some sort of chance with the selection's stablemate Absolute Dream rated an each-way option off the bottom rung. My Thought, running well of late, looks best of the rest.
