Verdict
WHAT ASHAM left his previous form behind when dotting-up by seven lengths in an apprentices' race over track and trip. Unpenalised for that victory, he looks the one to beat and is preferred to another recent course winner in Invincible Wish. The latter won a seller here a fortnight ago while Prayer Time is 13lb higher than when scoring at the track earlier in the month. Sculptured was a well-beaten second last time with Cheeco even further behind and Dark Wonder has plenty to find with the selection.
