Asking Questions has been placed over hurdles but better form has come over fences, though he must have a leading chance in a race like this. OSCAR WORLD was making headway when stopped in his tracks by a blunder at Uttoxeter last month. He is unexposed compared to the majority of these so gets the nod ahead of Fontwell third Black Anthem and The Captain, a consistent sort who should run his race again. Nicely Indeed would also have a chance on his best form.
