Asknotwhat landed a maiden over the course and distance by 12 lengths then ran a shocker on his handicap debut at the Curragh where he finished tailed off. Battle Hymn's best form has been at Dundalk, though he's run reasonably well on ground probably too testing in his last two starts. AN FEAR CIUIN has been making steady progress and made all for an easy victory at Wexford so this looks within his capabilities, despite a 9lb rise. Bogardus struggled to beat two rivals over a mile at Wexford and was well beaten when tried over this trip earlier.
