Race-riding tactics will play an important part in the outcome of this 6f three-year-old handicap, but both Franny Norton (
Monoski) and Dane O'Neill (
Buhturi) have their hands tied with their respective mounts strongly favouring a front-running approach. Therefore, the focus switches to the recent C&D novice winner
Lexington Dash, and the Roger Varian-trained
ASCENSION. David Egan's mount didn't quite see out the 7f trip on his seasonal reappearance at Sandown (ran well nevertheless), but is strongly fancied to pounce late on this occasion and deliver the goods with a potent finishing kick.
