Verdict

A useful staying performer on the Flat, ARISTOCRATE changed hands for €140,000 in November and he could well be the way to go now hurdling in a race that doesn't look the strongest. Watergrange Jack was shaping encouragingly before coming to grief on hurdles bow at Doncaster and is feared, along with Baby Ben.
