Verdict
Ask Me Early finished third at Chepstow on his hurdling bow back in January and could figure while Sending Love placed at Uttoxeter on his debut over hurdles and has undergone wind surgery and is fitted with a tongue-tie on his return to action. Lamanver Storm ran well on his first start over timber when second at Exeter in February while MARTINHOL faded away in the closing stages at Wetherby on last month’s reappearance. But he’ll be sharper today and with a tongue-tie likely to bring improvement, David Pipe’s charge gets the nod.
