Forgot To Ask has only won one of 11 chase starts but he’s placed in his last four and it will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line again given the wheels appears to have fallen off with a few of his rivals. PUTDECASHONTHEDASH (NAP) is an exception, however, winning at Taunton following wind surgery. The second that day is an improving type and the third had placed twice previously so the form looks solid and he won on this card 12 months ago. Favori De Sivola could also be a contender given he was on the heels of the leaders at Hereford when unseating his rider having won earlier here and at Taunton. Premiumaccess also has claims on his best form.
