Dan Skelton has found the key to Shrubland and he's unbeaten in two starts for the yard, but he looks vulnerable (even in this company) from an 11lb higher mark given the longer trip. Whilst the majority of the field make no or little appeal, the claims of IRISH HAWKE are all too obvious. In some ways he might have been fortunate to have beaten the rapidly improving subsequent winner Mathayus at Sedgefield in August, but with the bulk of his 6lb rise effectively removed by the 5lb claim of Lorcan Murtagh, he's effectively a winner without a penalty in a fairly grim contest.
