Form & Verdict
Skelton runner who has shown major promise in good-ground bumpers, finishing nicely for close second here then going one better at Worcester where he had much more in hand than the 1l margin suggests (won on the bridle); useful prospect.

2-7 over hurdles for Dan Skelton before being sold for £5,000 after bleeding from the nose and pulling up on chase debut at Bangor in May; made a satisfactory start for this stable when runner-up to Tellherthename at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but is 4lb out of the weights here.

Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last November; pulled up on his chase debut after reported to have bled from the nose at Bangor four weeks ago and subsequently sold for £5,000; regular hood is left off on stable debut and best to proceed with caution.

11st 9lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Made all for two good-ground novice hurdle wins last November (2m, 2m3f); lesser form this year likely more to do with a refusal to settle under restraint than the move to handicaps, but a return to previous tactics may put him in a pace battle with a few here; chasers in pedigree.

Gained his debut win in weak bumper then had a long layoff; has struggled since returning to action, most recently in Warwick maiden hurdle (2m3f); something to prove.
