Forecasts

Herbiers (11/8), Brief Times (9/5), Nothin To Ask (5/2)

Verdict

HERBIERS left his low-key chase debut well behind when just touched off at Kempton and he looks the way to go. That said, it would be no surprise were Nothin To Ask and Brief Times to both get back on track following rather disappointing last-time-out efforts, with Fergal O'Brien's charge feared most.
