11st 8lb

J: Miss Heidi Palin

T: Dan Skelton

Won on first outing for Dan Skelton at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and third on both starts since (2m2f/2m3f, good) in races that have worked out extremely well; this 4yo is firmly in calculations.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Scored on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and was placed behind Ballynoe Boy over similar trip to today's at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago; 5lb better off with that rival here and seems fine on slower ground; likely contender.

11st 2lb

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.
