Harry Skelton's relentless charge for the jockey's title, with the help of brother Dan, continues apace. The combination is represented here by DAN GUN, backed as if defeat was not contemplated on his first run for the yard a month after leaving David Brace. He won with seemingly plenty to spare so can go in again, despite a 9lb rise. Rubytwo rates the main threat after being dropped a few pounds for recent defeats. She's a solid and consistent mare while Badness Backfires is definitely one to keep an eye on as he posted a pleasing debut for Henry Oliver after leaving Denise Foster.
