Verdict

ARAMINTA sets a reasonable standard and with the longer trip sure to suit, she's fancied to open her account. Even Tho was clear and going well when falling at the last on her sole start in points so is of obvious interest on her Rules debut for Willie Mullins. Thelittleballerina showed promise at Down Royal and merits consideration, too.
