LADY ARIA (NAP) delivered an excellent debut run when going down by a neck to the well-fancied Firelight at Newmarket. That run came on soft ground over 6f so she does face a somewhat different challenge here on forecast good ground over the minimum trip but she is the form standout and can oblige. K Club came easily clear of her field to score in style on her Bath debut and rates the danger despite that not looking a particularly strong contest. She looked useful and should progress. Big Boots is exposed now but still has shortlist credentials. Tomahawk Ridge was well beaten last time but is next best.
