Verdict
An open-looking sprint but the suggestion is ARAMRAM, who ran a cracker when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup behind one who was completing a 6-timer a fortnight ago and Richard Hannon's colt can make a winning start on the all-weather. Second choice is The Thames Boatman, who proved at least as good as ever in picking up a third win of the year at Lingfield last month, with Ingra Tor and the returning unbeaten Lion's House both of interest, too.

VerdictLatest win at Doncaster in September. Ran at least as well in defeat when second of 22 in Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 2 weeks ago, no match for thriving winner who was completing a 6-timer. This much less competitive and he's high on the shortlist on all-weather debut. - 10. Ingra TorJ: George BassT: Jack ChannonF: 0-5633731
