Ashtown Lad (6/4), Ask A Honey Bee (9/4), Wynn House (8/1), Danny Kirwan (17/2), Make Good (12/1), Took The Lot (12/1), Pats Fancy (33/1), Promising Milan (80/1)
ASHTOWN LAD took a major step forward when easily defying an opening mark of 123 at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat on that form with his stamina assured. Ask A Honey Bee doesn't have much to find and rates a big threat with this stiffer test sure to suit, while the progressive Took The Lot has to be respected given his yard's excellent record in this.
