Princess Of Aeneas would be of interest had the stable been in better form but bearing that in mind we will instead plump for Aristi ahead of Forest Emerald. Kept busy both over hurdles and on the all-weather this winter, the selection should appreciate this drop into selling company for the first time and whilst she is evidently no world-beater, she could be good enough to win this race on ground that suits. Forest Emerald's penultimate run in a classified hurdle at Plumpton reads well in the context of this race however he is yet to win in 12 starts so punters beware. Diafo hasn't shown an awful lot in his last two outings but there was promise in his close second at Bangor so he warrants a mention, along with Heathyards Joy who at least knows how to win. At a price Time For You has place claims, but this weak affair can go to Aristi.
