Verdict
Dan Skelton is mob-handed in this opener with jockey bookings suggesting Anytime Will Do is the pick of his quartet. His Uttoxeter victory was franked when the runner-up went one better at Wincanton on Sunday but the five-year-old faces no easy task under a penalty. Chambard was a Grade 1 bumper winner in France but that was back in 2016 and he might need this. His trainer also runs Inheritance Thief while Cervaro Mix was runner-up to a subsequent hurdles winner at Fontwell earlier this month. Cracking Destiny has shown some ability and Grey Diamond won a Ffos Las bumper in May. Fledgling trainer Jane Williams has had just the one winner so far but MOONLIGHTER could double her tally. He impressed in a bumper here last season and then ran sixth in a Listed contest at Newbury which has worked out well – the Midnight Legend gelding has a cracking pedigree for jumping.
