To The Limit seems to have got his act together, finishing a close-up third at Carlisle last week having won earlier at Kelso. Asking For Answers is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but has become hard to predict while Just Don't Know may not have beaten much at Leicester. He is giving 3lb to DESTINY IS ALL (NAP), who has looked ready for a step up in trip and represents the same trainer and jockey combination responsible for last year’s winner.
