Six One Nine was running well here in the spring and still has time on his side but No Quarter Asked has been disappointing since scoring at Ffos Las in June. Hereford winner OBEY THE RULES (NAP) may have come up against an above-average recruit when a short-priced favourite at Ludlow. A further 2lb rise hasn’t done him any favours but he looks the one to beat.
