Verdict
Only two of these have had a run and it's more than a year since WASHED ASHORE was noted staying on well behind Brave Richard at Market Rasen. But he can start making up for lost time here ahead of Ludlow fourth Amitie Waltz. Oliver Sherwood can get one ready at home so a big run is expected from the Scorpion gelding Serpico while Jameson is by Midnight Legend and a half-brother to a winning bumper in Ireland. Squablin may need more time however.
