Too Much To Ask was well-backed on stable debut this week at Cartmel but settled for second after unveiling some quirks late on. He travelled strongly for a long way and gets the services of Richard Johnson now in his bid to quickly go one better. Preference though is BLUE N YELLOW, who improved to win at Exeter last time and could have more to offer if seeing out this extra yardage. My Lady Grey just couldn't catch the frontrunner last time at Fontwell but came in a clear second and joins Talkingpicturestv in completing the shortlist.
