ASA is going from strength to strength and hard to oppose under a 7 lb penalty for her recent easy Southwell victory. Forest Blaze could emerge as the main danger to Philip Kirby's thriving mare now his stamina is unlocked more with Clondaw Royale, Grove Road and King Casey in the picture for minor honours.
