Verdict
ASK AND ANSWER (NAP) was in very good form until reverting to fences at Wexford last week. He had Dragon's Pass three lengths behind when landing a handicap hurdle over the trip at Navan and should confirm the form while Light Heidi was a long way back though has subsequently run very well at Naas. Costalita had been running poorly before a much better effort at Down Royal while Vermilion Cliffs performed well on his penultimate start here.
