ASTON LYON (2) goes very well at the course and distance with four wins and a placing from nine starts. Was out of the placings last time (19.56) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. TROPIC MAN (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a neck second (19.71) over 350m at this track. Leading chance. ANGRY MURRAY COD (6) last start finished 6th on March 22 over 350m at this track behind Fiddles beaten 4.5 lengths (19.53) in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run. ASTON RENNES (4) is sure to play a big role again after nice run of wins.

Backs up quickly after winning comfortably by 8 lengths at Sandown (29.63) beating Winckie Bale in a Grade 5 on March 23 a couple of days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Missed the frame latest (19.53) when sixth over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from seven starts. Looks suited and should go close.
