Aaroness can get back to winning ways

AARONESS, nearer last than first on her latest appearance, gets the nap to take the 80’s Mania Race at Navan tonight.

Jim Bolger’s filly could only manage ninth of 11 at the Curragh last month, but it would be harsh to judge her on just that display.

There are solid reasons to explain such a performance. Firstly it was the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes, won by Grand Ducal over a trip, ten furlongs, which was too far and on an unsuitably heavy surface.
