Verdict
A big field but few make any appeal with the vote going to ASKING QUESTIONS. He wasn’t beaten far when placed over today’s trip at Wetherby and a similar effort should see him thereabouts at the finish once again. Abbey Street can also figure if reproducing last month’s effort at Huntingdon though he steps up in trip today while Tara Mac had been in decent form over fences before falling at Cheltenham last time. Frosty Dawn went close over a longer trip here on her latest outing and could also get involved.
