T: Dan Skelton

He's gone 3-3 since the cheekpieces went on and it was pretty straightforward from the front in a Grade 2 at Haydock the last time (3m, good to soft) when 4l too good for the strong-finishing Ubatuba who ran a respectable seventh in the Albert Bartlett; arrives here fresher than some; respected.

Made it 2-2 in these cheekpieces when upped in trip on handicap debut over C&D (good to soft) four weeks ago; won a bumper on soft ground; open to further improvement for his top yard and is firmly in calculations.

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

3m point and two-time bumper winner who has improved with each of his three hurdle starts, winning easily at 4-9 at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained); bred to be suited by this step up in trip on handicap debut (half-brother to leading Peter Marsh contender Myretown, among others) and could have lots more to offer for top yard.

J: Harry Skelton

Winning pointer who justified a shade of odds-on in his first two bumpers, at Ayr (good to soft; by 9l) and Aintree (soft; by 2l); rejected by Harry Skelton and was 66-1 when down the field in the Champion Bumper here; nice prospect for hurdling.

11st 7lb

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Winning pointer who has justified a shade of odds-on in both his bumpers, at Ayr (good to soft; by 9l) and Aintree (soft; by 2l); seems a straightforward gelding who should give his running but that latest form has taken some knocks and Harry Skelton prefers stablemate Fortune De Mer.
