Verdict

ASTA LA PASTA got back firmly on track switched to a handicap in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) when third at Sandown 18 days ago, despite being left with too much to do, and this looks a good opportunity for him to defy a penalty. Taras Halls didn't get very far on his Wetherby hurdle debut but was backed as though expected to go close and retains potential. Macanogue is likely to make his presence felt, too.

  1. ASTA LA PASTA (IRE)
