Heir To The Mint made all over the C&D a month ago, gaining his maiden success on his 16th start. A 9lb rise could prevent a follow-up as ARAGORN ICON looks ready to score again. David Marnane's charge continues to run well without quite getting there but this looks a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Lily's Star has been staying on at one pace but is by no means out of this and Naked Cowboy produced his best run for a long time last month, though that event was over 1m3f.
