A fairly dire finale, with the top-weight (a recent recruit from Ireland) himself being a 16 race maiden. Many of these runners are simply impossible to fancy on either their current, or more often their career form. Mrs Grass lacks much scope, but a dual C&D winner with cut, she's difficult to rule out of contention from a lightweight. Magnolia Ridge is another C&D winner, but who needs to bounce back from a poor run at Market Rasen, whilst Bollin Line might feasibly find this race no stronger than the seller he landed at the same Lincolnshire venue last month. However, the Tim Vaughan trained ASHKOUN looks the pick. He himself is a 15 race hurdles maiden, but the booking of Tom David catches the eye, and his June form at Ffos Las and Newton Abbot reads well enough in the context of this race.
