Ashpan Sam popped up at 14/1 last time with a cosy win at Thirsk. This looks tougher under a penalty while Ambitious Boy steps up a grade off a 5lb higher mark after scoring here last month. HADAJ makes more appeal on the back of a victory at Newmarket as Ruth Carr's charge had gone close over track and trip before that and he gets the nod. Light From Mars is another to consider having failed by only a head to catch Crew Cut at Newmarket on his first start for new connections.
