Verdict

Although he's moving up the handicap, hat-trick seeking ASKING QUESTIONS should again give a good account of himself with Harry Skelton again doing the honours. If The Orange Rogue is none the worse for his tumble last time he might well make a race of it, while it would not surprise to see either Gold Opera or Whitsundays find a bit of form. Any money for Ascot De Bruyere would be interesting following his long absence.
