This is not the best of races and what can only be a tentative vote goes to recent Uttoxeter scorer Aristi, who gets the verdict over Tayman and Rainbow Tree. The last mentioned ran consistently in most of his races last term and has to be respected but lack of a recent run may be of some concern. Hylia has more to do than when successful at Uttoxeter last time and may struggle to give weight away all round, while Carroll's O'Tully has slipped to a fair mark but is another that may be best watched on his first outing for some time. Domenico is another that lacks a recent run, while Kissinthepeach is race fit but took a tumble last time and may be one to keep out of calculations after that effort. Tayman ran promisingly enough last time and has to be respected but Aristi has solid claims and he is preferred.
