11st 4lb

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Ex-Irish 7yo; dual point winner who has not been with Dan Skelton for long, and his maiden hurdle win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month is split by two runner-up efforts over fences; turned over at 4-6 in a three-runner race last time but he looked stretched over 3m2f and he's still unexposed in this sphere; big player back in trip.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Won two points in Ireland; beaten 3l by Limerick Leader on yard debut at Bangor (3m, good) but he's now 13lb better off with the winner and has since won a maiden hurdle here, albeit narrowly; interesting on that Bangor form.

11st 4lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Fair maiden hurdler at 2m-2m4f and a dual Irish point winner who was in good form in that sphere in the spring; made a pleasing start for Dan Skelton when a 3l second to a subsequent winner in a handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good) two weeks ago; leading contender back in maiden company over hurdles.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Dual Irish point winner who was in good form in the spring before changing hands for £20,000; not seen under rules since disappointing chase debut over 2m last summer but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles last year) are refitted.

J: Ross Berry

T: C A Murphy

Best run over hurdles when second in a maiden over 2m here last October; hasn't matched that form since and was poor in cheekpieces at Kilbeggan last time; needs best on chasing debut.
