Newbury Race 1 - Sky Sports Racing Aston Park Stakes (Group 3)
KALPANA (1) looks the one to beat down in grade. The Juddmonte five-year-old was a solid G1 performer last season and she signed off with a dominant 2.5L victory in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. That is the best form on offer. She will be hard to beat if ready on her return. ARABIAN FORCE (2) was only beaten 0.5L at Listed level last month. Trained by William Haggas and holds potential to improve. He ran to a solid level last season including when 1L third in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes. FRENCH MASTER (3) cannot be ruled out. A comeback third at G2 level was promising. WEST WIND BLOWS (5) shaped well behind Calandagan making penultimate start. Rates a chance.
