Verdict
Toto Skyllachy boasts the highest official rating but has come up short in similar company at this track of late and looks flattered by his current mark. Jordaura finished ahead of the latter here last week but DEMOLITION looks more likely to run his race having gone close again in a Redcar seller last time and he gets the nod. Gran Maestro seems better over 1m4f but Memory Cloth could prove a threat as he takes a drop in class having raced in competitive handicaps without success so far this year.
