SUPREME ASSET is the only one of this quartet with recent form. He just missed out in a fight to the line with Halcyon Days at Ayr last month and Donald McCain’s charge can go one better in this having won on soft ground before. Colin's Brother won off a higher mark over hurdles at Chepstow in March and should improve on his previous chasing form this season but Truckers Highway was pulled-up on his recent reappearance and Un Anjou last raced in August last year though is 8lb lower on his return.
