In depth
Verdict
ASHJAR is taking time to find his form since arriving from France but he's performed well enough in his three starts for Willie Mullins, especially when a close third to Shield in a big field at Cork, to suggest he's up to winning in this moderate company. The front-running Enjoy Responsibly disappointed at Kilbeggan after a fair run behind Roman General at Tipperary and will need to bounce back but Honey Pound was beaten by a couple of decent performers at Cork last time and has nothing to fear from fourth-placed Moreece on that form. Overcall could be a threat as he showed definite improvement at Limerick and has gone well in testing conditions on the Flat.
