        Verdict

        SKELLIG MICHAEL won at Kempton before going close again at Newcastle last month. He can race off the same mark here and Ben Haslam’s charge may prove good enough. Bismarck The Flyer was placed over 7f at Catterick last time but has won over track and trip before while Regal Decree was third at Redcar on his return to action. Darvie is getting closer with every run and it would be no surprise if he figured on his handicap debut.
