The drop back to 2m now returned to fences is a plus for ASPIRE TOWER, who gave it a good shot from the front when third in a decent race over hurdles at Leopardstow last month. The 9-y-o is taken to open his account in this sphere. Westport Cove and What's Up Darling are feared most in that order of preference.
