A runner-up at Exeter last time, this looks an easier opportunity for The Mighty Ash. But SCHNABEL may prove more at home on today’s fast going and the top weight gets the vote on his return from a lay-off with a conditional’s allowance helping his cause. Benbecula had been running well before struggling in testing ground last time and could figure while Pyrios posted a better effort when fourth over these obstacles back in February. Bright Tomorrow and Sporty Yankee have bits of form if back to their best.
