Verdict

The Sean Aherne-trained ASK AND ANSWER got off the mark over the larger obstacles at the sixth time of asking when landing a Navan 3m handicap earlier this month off a 6lb lower mark. The seven-year-old can continue the winning thread here ahead of the improving Ask Mary who finished ½L behind Ask and Answer at Navan earlier this month. In a race with plenty of gallant veterans taking their chance the minor honours are likely to be between the nine-year-old Kayf Thou and the 10-year-old Persian Wind.
  1. Ask And Answer
  2. Ask Mary
  3. Kayf Thou
