Exeter on Ashley agenda

Top novice Ashley Brook could begin his second season as a chaser on the same early-November Exeter card on which he made a successful start over fences last autumn.

The seven-year-old may go for the Haldon Gold Cup, which was landed last term by Azertyuiop in a time over a second slower than Ashley Brook’s in winning over the same extended two-mile-one-furlong course that day.
