Ali The Hunter finished ahead of ASK THE LADY trying 3m for the first time at Taunton but the even longer trip here will suit Fergal O’Brien’s mare, who re-opposes on better terms and can turn the tables. Forchena’s lack of a recent run won’t aid her cause but she remains unexposed with a similar comment applying to Stratford third Missthecuddles. Gentle Rose appeared to lose her action at Southwell and was pulled up but she’s obviously been given a clean bill of health and an earlier second at Wetherby was a fair run.
