Verdict

Askinvillar, a winning pointer, has been very lightly raced over hurdles and should make a chaser but we’ll take a chance that the penalised FORGET YOU NOT is on a going day again having won over 2m here nine days ago and earlier over 2m3f at Exeter. Majestic Merlin has placed a couple of times over fences but was only fourth when favourite at Taunton earlier this month and it says much that Broughtons Rhythm is still a novice aged 13.
