Verdict

Ashington was a wide-margin winner at Brighton before finishing second over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford. A drop back in distance shouldn’t be a problem and he is one for the short-list here. Canberra Cliffs is back in a handicap after a run in Listed company and is also worth considering. Medalla De Oro is two from two here and was taking on strong opposition last time at Leopardstown but Noble Gift and You're Hired have become expensive to follow. PROTECTED GUEST is in the form of his life and Jane Elliott again takes a handy 3lb off George Margarson’s three-year-old, who took a step up in trip in his stride at Yarmouth and was a convincing winner despite meeting trouble in-running. Mr Reckless is preferred to an out-of-sorts Fast Dancer of the others.
