Verdict
Dontaskmeagain posted one of his better efforts at Thirsk last time and he’s preferred to veteran stablemate Fire Fighting. Bandinelli has been gelded and is fitted with headgear having run poorly at Salisbury on his handicap bow while Top Brass placed at Chelmsford last month, though is upped in both distance and class. SALIGO BAY came good in a higher grade at Newbury on his latest start and Roger Charlton’s charge is taken to defy a 4lb rise.
