Race preview
ASK THE DOC has filled second spot on three occasions this season and sets a clear form standard here. The son of Ask has the most hurdling experience in this field and, in what appears to be a winnable contest, he can reward connections by getting his head in front. Forpaddytheplumber looks the main danger under Brian Hughes, but he has been well beaten in two starts over timber after his bumper success at Haydock, and may be one for handicaps. Melvich Bay will need to improve on her previous effort to play a role, while Blackwell Bay is interesting on his hurdling bow.
