Verdict

EXCELLENT AIM is 6lb lower than when scoring at Wolverhampton in November and his amateur rider's claim further helps his cause. He gets the token vote ahead of Sophie's Beau who should be thereabouts in this grade. Baybshambles finished closer at Redcar last time in his quest to end a losing run stretching back to 2009 while the likes of Lexington Spirit, Red Roar and Feel The Heat all have the past form to figure with the latter making most appeal on only his third start of the year.
