    Verdict

    Ashkazar has been the buzz horse for this race all week and, given the Pipes' record in this race, it would be folly to underestimate his chance. That said, he was well beaten at Chepstow and could hardly be said to have been impressive here last time. Connections report that he has improved since but the price has gone and there are more appealing
