Verdict
ASHKOUL is narrowly preferred to Ballinslea Bridge in a race likely to be dominated by the pair. A winner twice on the Flat in France, he has been second in both start over hurdles for Dan Skelton and may be suited by today’s slower ground. Olly Murphy’s charge has won a point and been placed in bumpers but his hurdling second at Fakenham came over 2m4f. His Dream is probably better than he showed at Exeter but Weebill may need the experience and Jacbequick is likely to do better in handicaps.
