Trainer Eric Musgrove says Australian Hurdle winner Our Aristocrat will be vulnerable against another unbeaten jumper Capecover when they clash at Sandown.

An exciting hurdler, Our Aristocrat has won all of his four jumps starts and most recently landed South Australia's Grand National Hurdle by more than six lengths.

Steven Pateman has ridden the rising six-year-old each time but in Wednesday's `Like' Caulfield Racing On Facebook Hurdle (3400m) he will stick with Capecover who he has partnered to all three hurdle wins.

Arron Lynch is the new rider for Our Aristocrat who Musgrove believes will have conditions against him.

"He is probably looking for a bit better ground than we are going to get," Musgrove said.

"Capecover is going to be very hard to beat and with the heavier ground and over (a less testing) 3400 metres is probably more suited than Our Aristocrat.

"He (Our Aristocrat) handles the heavy but he grows a leg when it is a bit better than that."

Musgrove said the Galileo gelding didn't look comfortable when he narrowly beat stablemate Famous Prince on a slow track in the Australian Hurdle on June 4.

Last start Our Aristocrat easily won the Grand National Hurdle at Morphettville on a dead track, despite stumbling at the last jump and nearly dislodging Pateman.

His goal is the Grand National Hurdle (4000m) at Sandown on August 14.

Part-owned by Lloyd Williams, Our Aristocrat has been a revelation since being transferred to Musgrove for a jumping career.

"He is a lovely horse," Musgrove said.

"Wednesday is a good up lead-up towards the National for him and the one thing he will do is run the journey (4000m)," Musgrove said.

Musgrove said Famous Prince, who is also running in Wednesday's hurdle, was another horse that preferred drier tracks.

Last start he finished last to Capecover on a heavy track and may switch to fences and target the Grand National Steeplechase (4000m) at Sandown on August 30 along with stablemate Zealous.

Zealous and another stablemate Stop the Traffic will run in Wednesday's Follow @MRCtracknews on Twitter Steeplechase (3400m).
