Verdict
Forgot To Ask is interesting back over hurdles and dropped in trip but a short break may have benefited THAT’S A GIVEN. His third at Ludlow has worked out well and he was beaten less than a length at Taunton in December when upped in distance. Percy Street has become disappointing but Ballyellis has shown promise and slipping towards an attractive mark. Tempuran was returning from a lengthy absence when third at Market Rasen but, aged 10, Tarrona is now 0-14 over hurdles. Paint The Dream hasn’t been running badly and still has time on his side.
