Verdict
Ask The Driver, Ace Coming and Breezit are three against the field in another tight handicap and the vote goes to Ask The Driver. The selection was a good second on his debut this season by Dagola and a reproduction of that effort under conditions that suit should suffice here. Ace coming rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Perfect Balance last time and he will relish the conditions but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Breezit is another that could go well but he was behind Ask The Driver last time and he is no better off at the weights. Of the remainder Sir Galahad is from a yard in form and is with noting in the market but for the winner we return to Ask The Driver.
