Aristoxene can land this at the expense of fellow newcomer Emanic. Saturday King Nicky Henderson looks to have found a nice opportunity for the four-year-old and in receipt of all the allowances and a proven liking for soft going, he looks the one to be with. Emanic lost his way badly after impressing in his early races for Alan King. A change of scenery and a change of discipline may have sweetened him up but his head carriage suggests he's a bit of a thinker. Too Forward is watched having not jumped anything in public since the 2003 Cheltenham festival. Whatever he achieves here must surely be a bonus. Liverpool Echo was put in his place by My Will at Warwick while the market is watched with regard to Persian Waters. A good race that can go to Aristoxene.
