Computable has run in two much better races than this after a narrow defeat at Ripon in June. ASHURST BEACON started favourite for a Pontefract maiden in August but never got going after a tardy start then finished mid-division in a lucrative sales race at the Curragh that has worked out well. He's given the vote to come from behind against several front-runners. Hee Haw has led to this trip on both starts over 6f, the latest on heavy ground, while Kiribati has a very similar profile having faded inside the final furlong in his last two starts over 6f. Peach Pavlova never got into the action in a better race at York but led for a long way in both previous starts.
