Aston Martin Handicap

Rampant on the AW at the end of last year, winning five in a row over this trip, but then went off the boil; offered more back on turf after a four-month break a few weeks ago (Expert Agent behind in a messy affair) and that gave something to build on.

Five wins for Darryll Holland last year, mainly in the autumn, and went 19lb up the weights; entitled to have needed his comeback from six months off a few weeks ago, following wind surgery, and the drop from 7f will help, but he needs a lot more.

Windsor victory this time last year came off a 4lb higher mark and he hasn't been beaten far in two runs back this time; lacks consistency now but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take this for a yard firmly back among the winners.

Has done a lot of her racing over 5f and the suspicion remains that a stiff 6f is too much of a test; otherwise she's been in good form since the headgear came off.

Won three in quick succession on soft/heavy ground last autumn, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; couple of fair efforts on Polytrack in the spring but tonight's conditions wouldn't look optimal for a yard also responsible for Roman Emperor.
