I remember tipping Aristocrate ahead of his UK debut, and he duly ran like a drain when trailing home a frankly disappointing fifth at Fontwell over three furlongs further.
I wasn’t the only one who fancied him that day as he was sent off the 6/4f on the day, and he has suffered the ultimate fate for a bad run (gelded since), which may well make all the difference.
Blinkers are also added here so connections are throwing the kitchen sink at him for a better display now, and at 6/1 or thereabouts I will take the risk each way.
