In depth

Verdict

Ashjan is on a roll but has never won off a mark this high and not in five previous visits to the track. BROTHERLY COMPANY has proved extremely versatile and has won 10 of his 50 career starts. He looked as good as ever when mastering Copper’s Cross at Ayr earlier this month and can defy top weight with Canelo looking a shadow of his former self and Doktor Glaz also on a downward spiral. Exit To Where has been knocking on the door again lately, however, while Flamboyant Joyaux is back on a winning mark.
