Ask Henry (4/6), Quart De Garde (5/4), Sister Midnight (16/1)

This looks like a basic match between QUART DE GARDE and Ask Henry, with Sister Midnight along for the ride as she gains in experience in this sphere. Quart De Garde went close on his debut for his new yard when finishing a close second at Catterick just after Christmas and, were it not for slipping up on the bend when building up with his challenge, he might well have made amends at the same course last time. This appears to be a good opportunity for the Donald McCain-trained five-year-old to gain a confidence booster en route to better things. Ask Henry is going the right way and can make this a good test for his main rival.
