Forecasts

Ashtown Lad (6/4), Ask A Honey Bee (9/4), Wynn House (8/1), Danny Kirwan (17/2), Make Good (12/1), Took The Lot (12/1), Pats Fancy (33/1), Promising Milan (80/1)

Verdict

ASHTOWN LAD took a major step forward when easily defying an opening mark of 123 at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat on that form with his stamina assured. Ask A Honey Bee doesn't have much to find and rates a big threat with this stiffer test sure to suit, while the progressive Took The Lot has to be respected given his yard's excellent record in this.

  1. ASHTOWN LAD (IRE)
  2. ASK A HONEY BEE (IRE)
  3. TOOK THE LOT
