RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Varian (32 wins from 152 runners, 21%) runs AIMERIC TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): W Haggas (10 wins from 46 runners, 22%) runs EDUCATOR LONGEST TRAVELLER: AUSTRALIAN ANGEL trained by A Balding, Kingsclere, 179 miles.

It’s probably best to overlook AIMERIC’s York effort when last seen in October and, with just half-a-dozen starts under his belt and a broadly progressive profile, he earns the vote Roger Varian’s charge may have most to fear from Wandering Rocks, who has to be of interest off this reduced mark with the hood refitted. Hasty Sailor will be a threat if building on his back-to-form Newmarket second last time and Australian Angel is respected based on last season’s exploits
