Forecasts

Monhammer (9/2), Ben Asker (6/1), Spartakos (7/1), Albeseeingyer (15/2), Asmund (15/2), Wrath Of Hector (9/1), Hulton Ranger (9/1), Time To Rumble (12/1), Kodebreaker (12/1), Blazing Son (14/1), Sharrabang (14/1), Bellevue Lad (22/1)

BEN ASKER has been rejuvenated since joining Katie Scott and with, cheekpieces added, made it 2 wins from 2 starts for his new yard when successful at Ayr at the beginning of the month. The 4-y-o can see off the challenge of the in-form Monhammer to land the hat-trick, while Asmund remains on a workable mark after getting back to winning ways last time.
