Verdict

Back up in trip, AIGHEAR returned to winning ways at Ayr in September before following up in good style at the same course 15 days ago, so she is taken to land the hat-trick in her current form. Trapper John has been going the right way in handicaps this year and could be the main danger, ahead of Yellow Star who remains lightly raced on the level.
