J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Left Jedd O'Keeffe for £21,000 in May and given wind surgery; first run since when justifying 5-6 favouritism in 11-runner handicap at Uttoxeter three weeks ago (2m, good); he did that narrowly but he was delivered late, so the 7lb rise could be very manageable.

Only sixth when favourite for handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March and signed off for Jedd O'Keeffe with a poor Flat run in May but joined Dan Skelton for £21,000 soon afterwards and was quickly given a wind op; interesting to see what new trainer can do with him.

Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces, having finished a close fifth in sole attempt in this headgear (penultimate start); didn't fare so well back in blinkers latest.

Touch disappointing over hurdles for this yard but fared better back on the Flat when fifth of 12 over 1m4f at Pontefract (good to soft) 25 days ago and three subsequent winners have emerged from that race; swaps the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time for blinkers he tried once over hurdles; his best RPR on the Flat was achieved over this trip.
