AARED was having his first start on the surface when beaten a nose by Strait Of Zanzibar last month. He was receiving 12lb from the winner but there are few here with realistic prospects and he can go one better. Eddystone Rock was placed several times in France and was by no means disgraced on his first start for Johnny Murtagh here in February so he looks the main threat. Intifadah was staying on over track and trip in December and may do better when sent over further while the remainder have plenty of improving to do.
