Jkr Cobbler caught Darbucks in the final strides over track and trip a week ago though the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms and may well turn the tables. But ASMUND has returned to the same mark as when successful at this time last year and it could be his turn again having placed on his last couple of outings. Banner Road won a classified race here earlier in the month while Bride Tree travels over from Ireland after a better effort at Fairyhouse.
