Ashkoul has finished runner-up on both starts over hurdles and represents last year's winning yard. He has done little wrong so far but Olly Murphy is strongly represented by Weebill and BALLINSLEA BRIDGE. The former is highly regarded and caught the eye on his bumper debut, whilst the latter may know a bit more having had three runs under rules. Most recently he made a hot favourite work hard on his hurdling bow, despite being all at sea on the tight left-handed track. This circuit should see him to better effect and the race may take less winning than it looks.
