Race preview
BALLAQUANE stepped forward on what he achieved over hurdles by gaining a first career success on his chasing debut at Fontwell in November. The handicapper put him up 3lb for that victory and that may prove lenient with the potential for him to progress further. The Questioner justified favouritism to score over hurdles at Ascot on his latest start and the seven-year-old doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling yet in terms of ability. Others for the shortlist include Court At Slip, who made a winning start over the larger obstacles at Wetherby on Boxing Day, and Taste The Fear, who arrives following wind surgery.
