Falco Blitz won four times in the UK but has generally struggled for current connections. Take All has yet to strike form for Shark Hanlon but Bonnie Kellie is running well, despite a rising mark. Dropped in distance, FROM THE ASHES (NAP) was well supported at Gowran and didn’t disappoint. He’ll likely be prominent again here and should take all the beating.
