Verdict

ASHTOWN LAD shaped with plenty of promise when just edged out over C&D earlier in the month so is hard to side against here with a fair bit of improvement in the pipelines. Brief Ambition also has better days ahead of him so should ensure Dan Skelton's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though and useful Flat stayer Moon King is another to consider if building on his debut fourth at Kelso.

  1. ASHTOWN LAD (IRE)
  2. BRIEF AMBITION
  3. MOON KING (FR)
