Asker finally showed some improvement for his slide down the weights when third at Fontwell last month. He should figure but both Join The Navy and Dynamic Idol look up against it off their current marks. However, NOUAILHAS (NAP) has gone up just 2lb for his second at Fontwell when Peqeno Diablo and Join The Navy were well beaten. He also beat Maccabees and Dude Alert when runner-up at Plumpton before that so looks to have leading claims of landing this.
