These qualifiers are never easy to work out but punters should get a run for their money out of the front-running KAYF ARAMIS, who generally runs well fresh and has been eased a little in the weights since the spring. He normally takes on stronger opposition than this and can outlast veteran Lough Derg. Hildisvini was much improved in the spring, but The Knoxs may be having a pipe-opener before going back over fences and Quartz De Thaix , Mobaasher and Mumbles Head were all pulled up in their comeback runs last month. Five Dreams is on a long losing run while Camden has his first start in Handicap Company, though still has some scope and makes more appeal than Or Noir De Somoza here.
