In a very uninspiring event to get proceedings under way, Aguila Loco is taken to beat Allerton Boy and Moon Royale. Aguila Loco makes a quick reappearance after finishing third in a seller over the course and distance just four days ago. He made the running until inside the final furlong then, his best form for some time, and against this opposition, should make a bold bid to return to the winner¿s enclosure. He has slipped markedly down the weights since landing a handicap for Eric Alston at Redcar two years ago, and will not have a better opportunity to regain the winning thread. It really is hard to get enthusiastic about the others, the best of whom may be Allerton Boy who stayed on well on his all-weather debut over five furlongs at Wolverhampton six days ago. Moon Royale has an experienced pilot in Margaret Morris but along with some moderate form, has a 124-day absence to overcome. All in all, Aguila Loco is the safest option.
