Verdict
ASKING QUESTIONS (NAP) made a winning debut over fences when scoring over course and distance and beating Mr Witmore and Court Painter in the process. The former has subsequently boosted the form with a win at Hexham while the latter was placed at Market Rasen last time. Dun Faw Good finally opened his account over fences when scoring at Musselburgh and the less exposed Mahlerdramatic posted his best effort in a chase so far when runner-up at Market Rasen. Court Baloo has been in decent form over hurdles and makes his chasing debut along with Fit For Fifty.
