Several creditable efforts to his name in Ireland but not seen for 20 months (sold £6,500 since last seen). Worth a market check in a weak race.

Won 3 times in the spring but has been operating below best for some time now. Drops in trip and yard has been going well lately, so worth chancing.

Still a maiden and not the easiest to catch right. Well supported prior to chasing debut here a fortnight ago and, while he couldn't justify it, he could show more now tried in blinkers.

Arrives below par, down th field at Newcastle 58 days ago. Break might have done him good but he's long since been a sloppy jumper and a risky proposition.

All 4 wins gained here. Not firing of late but has blinkers back on now and no surprise if he bounces back ina weak race.

Unpromising in Irish points and well held completed starts over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap at Ayr on chasing debut and has plenty to prove.

Forecasts

Moonacura (11/10), Cudgel (9/2), Choix Des Armes (13/2), Ashjan (13/2), Court Justice (13/2), Bandit D'Ainay (25/1), Hell On Earth (40/1)

Verdict

ASHJAN has been struggling for form but there was a glimmer of encouragement in his fifth here last time and, with his yard going well, he might be able to capitalise on a reduced mark. Cudgel is also well treated and goes well here, so he's feared and Moonacura could up his game in first-time blinkers.

  1. Ashjan13/2
  2. Moonacura11/10
  3. Cudgel9/2
