A race that makes very limited appeal for betting purposes with SKEAPING looking the obvious answer to this far from difficult puzzle. The same partnership that took this last year (Gordon Elliott/Richard Johnson) again teaming up with one that is dropped in grade after showing some decent form in handicap hurdles. Bantiss Jack looks one of the main threats based on his first two starts for this yard – he’ll appreciate the drop in trip while Royal Road should give this a good go from the front. Most of the others are hard to fancy although Doctor Jazz has shown better form in the past on the Flat and the first-time blinkers may pep him up.
