Very inconsistent for Dan Skelton last season but ran well from the front when third here (2m4f, good) on stable debut three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is much slower today (has won on heavy); unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in the right mood again.

Now 0-12 under rules and beginning to look exposed; however, he brings the best form to this maiden and was going easily when falling three out at Sedgefield last time (2m1f maiden); unraced beyond 2m5f under rules but this winning pointer should stay.

Consistent sort who was successful in first two attempts in visor, in December, including over C&D (heavy); should have benefitted from his first run for four months when sixth of nine at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; visor returns to replace cheekpieces and won't be far away.
