Tim Easterby and Mick Appleby are both doubly represented. The former looks to have the best chance of landing the spoils with Ugo Gregory, who has had a run this term, the pick of his pair. But ASDAA is just as effective on Turf as the all-weather and may have freshened up by a few weeks off. On The River has gone up 5lb for winning at Pontefract but conditions won’t be a problem and Cubana Habana is also worth a second look.
