Verdict

Dan Skelton boasts a 42 per-cent strike rate at this course this season and his Uttoxeter winner ALNADAM ran sufficiently well at Newbury latest to recommend him in this considerably smaller field. Handicap debutant Demachine is a long-term chaser but he has shown enough to be of interest here and the booking of Richard Johnson suggests he is expected to go close. Both Sabbathical and Sastruga disappointed last time out but they had shown enough beforehand to be of interest.
