Verdict

AIMERIC got back on the up when winning in taking fashion at Beverley when last seen and Roger Varian's gelding appeals as the type to make his mark felt in top-level handicaps this season, so this looks a good opportunity for him to make a winning return. Flash Bardot has a prolific recent record on slower ground and is hard to discount, whilst True Legend is also considered on his return after a progressive 3-y-o campaign.
