Despite the fact he has to carry a 7lb penalty for sluicing up at Stratford on his latest outing, this should be a straightforward task for ASHINGTON to follow-up that victory, provided he can cope with the forecast softer ground. The Blame Game makes his hurdles/seasonal debut in this contest, and showed ability in bumpers when last seen, so should have a say in what is a relatively weak contest when Ashington is taken out of the equation. She receives weight from every one of her rivals, and has a minimal level of experience over hurdles after just failing to make the frame on hurdles debut two years ago, so Maulesden May can pick up third-placed prize money.
