Verdict
Ever So Much won over hurdles at Cartmel before disappointing back over fences at Sedgefield. Kymata was only beaten a couple of lengths when runner-up behind Millie Of Mayo, who runs earlier on the card. Robsam makes his handicap debut under Richard Johnson but ASH PARK could roll back the years in a race like this having had a pipe-opener at the track at the start of the month.
