Jennie Candlish has done a fine job since taking charge of ex-Irish TOO MUCH TO ASK and has again secured the services of the champion jockey as the combination seek to supplement a comfortable Cartmel success. Conditions should suit and the gelding can defy an 8lb rise for that Lake District win. The handicapper finally proved too good for Global Tour last time but the O'Brien inmate still performed with credit and should be in the mix now. Light Gunner faces a tougher task than when battling home at Fontwell when last seen but don't rule out the veteran Ladies Dancing as she's a good record here. Check out the unexposed Ekayburg in the market.
