Jarvis waits before playing Aces

Michael Jarvis will continue to monitor conditions before deciding whether to allow All The Aces to take his chance in the totesport.com Fred Archer Stakes at Newmarket.The four-year-old was sidelined during last season after finishing fourth in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot and has been restricted to just one run so far this term, missing an intended engagement at Pontefract last Sunday due to fast ground."They had nine millimetres of rain overnight apparently on Thursday on the July Course. We're on the other side, the Bury side, and I don't think we had one millimetre," said Jarvis."They have actually changed the ground to good. We will inspect the track right up to race time."He's fine, he's in good form, he's just been waiting for safe ground."All The Aces is one of only five horses declared for the Listed contest over a mile and a half, along with Age Of Reason, Classic Punch, Wasan and Yellowstone.Saeed bin Suroor is expecting Age Of Reason to acquit himself well after the four-year-old gelding ran the German globetrotter Quijano to a length in a Group One at San Siro two weeks ago."He ran well in Italy and he's ready to go again as he needed that race," said Godolphin's trainer."I hope this is a good opportunity for him this time."
