ASHOKA won with plenty to spare last week and has a clear chance of following up under his penalty. The yard is in sparkling form and he should make them all go. The application of cheekpiecs on West Torr may help the cause and the top weight has bits and pieces of from that give him a sporting chance if back on song, while both Sir Dylan and Benbecula have outside chances if running up to their best on a surface that holds no terrors for them.
