Verdict

SKERRAY RULES (NAP) went up 7lb for her victory over course and distance in October but has continued to perform with credit at this sort of level. She should at least reach the frame again and looks the safest option. Meddling won twice at Lingfield when trained in the UK and will be better for her first start for Denis Hogan last month but The Butche's Filly has never won in 19 starts, most of them from this mark over the track and trip. High Focus didn't have his first run here until November and hasn't shown enough to be considered and though the veteran Norville has four Polytrack victories to his credit it's a long time since he showed any worthwhile form. Rockview Emperor has been won twice on Turf but has been placed just once on this track in 11 starts.
