AIMING HIGH failed to quicken on soft going at Newbury in October and may have found that run coming too soon after a promising start at Newmarket. She still has plenty of scope so is preferred to four-year-old My Mirage and Frankie’s mount Shining Al Danah, though the latter did run green at HQ earlier this month. Autumn is a half-sister to the useful Mutaraffa and makes more appeal than Power To Love of the others.
