        Verdict

        If running up to his official rating course specialist AUREATE should land this seller leaving Ghufa and Hucking Hero with a lot to find on these terms. Two wins from three starts shows the pick's liking for this venue and he tends to go well in this grade. A return to the turf and handicap company are two good excuses for his recent flops but now back in this company and on this surface he has terms in his favour to make a mockery of this field. Ghufa needs to improve by 14lbs based on the rating to get the better of the selection but may improve some for this step up in trip. George Baker's gelding has won both of his previous starts here so should be guaranteed to run his race. Hucking Hero also has a double figure improvement to find in addition to having stamina to prove and Soul Singer isn't weighted out of a bid for some prize money. This may be a seller but on these terms Aureate is a confident selection.
