Ashington has only raced over this trip once before and finished tailed off. Captain Tommy won over fences last month but is 5lb higher in this and hasn’t run over hurdles since early in 2021. Czech Her Out bounced back to form when beating Dinoland at Perth but there is nothing between the pair on the revised terms. Though he’s done nothing wrong in his last two starts, JUDICIAL LAW (NAP) has his ground for the first time since completing a double at Huntingdon in May and can defy top weight. Course winner Starlyte may be the pick of the remainder.
