The Skelton record with chasers in the last five years (8/15) merits the closest inspection and his Ashoka looks as though he may well turn out to be better in this sphere than he was over hurdles on the evidence of his debut. However, PEARLS LEGEND has been in some tougher fights than this in his time and with the handicapper giving him and chance he’s the suggestion here especially as he goes well fresh. Several of the others are capable but do have temperament question to answer and that makes Newton Geronimo and Orbasa a duo to be very careful with here. The handicapper has given Oliver’s Hill a chance although this is a better grade than he usually runs in.
