Asa silk
Asa
Selected at: 11/8

Asa roared back to form with a comfortable success in this grade at Catterick earlier this month and is due to go up 2lb for that success. Now is good time to catch her, as she runs of an unchanged mark, and it’s a very winnable race.

Verdict

In-form Asa took this by a wide margin last year but prolific QUEEN OF STEEL will be no pushover and earns a narrow vote.
