J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Progressed well this summer, winning four of seven starts, including a comfortable defeat of It's A Breeze over C&D in August; improved again in defeat when upped to 3m and finishing a 4l second to another progressive type at Bangor two weeks ago; likely to be involved but further improvement is needed off a 3lb higher mark.

Fast-improving 6yo who competed a hat-trick when easily beating three rivals at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) eight days ago; carries 7lb penalty in higher-grade race here but should cope if the ground ends up good to soft (unraced on slower) and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Cut little ice over hurdles last season, but he's been progressive over fences this summer and made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and could be a major force again.

Has left his hurdle form behind over fences and he beat the odds-on winner with the pair clear at Stratford last weekend (2m3f, good to firm); carries a penalty for that in what looks a winnable contest.
