    Verdict

    Monoski has become disappointing and still looks too high in the weights. Ascension has been favourite in four of his five starts but has been beaten the last twice, both over 7f. Lexington Dash made a winning start on Turf over course and distance eight days ago, however, and now tackles handicap company but could find BUHTURI a tough nut to crack with Charlie Hills’ runner only headed close home at Haydock on his return to action.
