Verdict

Sojourn has a first preference in the 2.25 at Ascot today and Ask Me Early is also engaged in the same race. But EL PASO WOOD is preferred regardless having won here before beaten less than length over course and distance and is taken to go one better in his current form. I See You Well also has a shout on last month’s second at Fontwell while Ede'iffs Elton is at his best here but is upped in class for this.
