ASTA LA PASTA has made a good start over fences, beaten only by a next-time-out winner at Kempton on his latest outing despite having raced freely, so he is taken to double his tally in this sphere. Alien Storm has also taken well to chasing, winning twice at Plumpton this season, and could be the main danger, while Insurrection could yet do better.
