Ashley looks the answer

ASHLEY BROOK can establish a position at the top of the chasing tree at Exeter today with victory over Best Mate in a star-studded renewal of the William Hill Haldon Gold Cup.

With his bold jumping and front-running style, Kevin Bishop’s chestnut has the potential to become a real crowd-pleaser and this will be a great starting point.

Having gifted the Arkle Trophy to Contraband with a mistake at the last, the seven-year-old made amends with a devastating performance at Aintree, leading all the way and thrashing the high-class War Of Attrition by 16 lengths.
