This looks like a good opportunity for ASCENDING, who was a promising second on debut in this sphere last December and wasn't disgraced in Grade 1 company thereafter, last seen finishing a creditable fifth of 15 in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. It's For Me showed plenty in bumpers and is just about second choice, with Whimsy also high on the shortlist.
