Maybe not that much strength in depth here and DON’T ASK may well be able to get back on track here after a couple of late mistakes blighted his winning chance last time out. Marley Firth is the other hurdles winner in the field who carries a penalty for his debut win but he did disappoint last time out and needs to bounce back. There are one or two longer term prospects in this although the Venetia Williams debutante Desque De L’Isle is interesting having finished second on his hurdles debut when trained in France. Luckofthedraw makes his hurdles debut and he too could progress having shown more ability for this yard in bumpers.
