ASKAMORE DARSI was still in contention when falling at the last fence over track and trip in December. Dropping down a grade for this, Donald McCain's charge can come out best with a clear round. Itstimeforapint scored at Wetherby before running Milan Flyer close at Ayr recently and has every chance while Gonow posted a better effort over these fences last time. Who Owns Me is rated higher than most of these over timber and can also get involved back over the larger obstacles.
