      Verdict

      Dan Skelton is persevering with the potentially well-treated Crooks Peak even though the eight-year-old has not been at his best over hurdles this term. But ART APPROVAL (NAP) has more scope having easily landed the odds at Market Rasen in January after a couple of promising efforts at Cheltenham in the autumn. Wargrave makes his handicap debut after a break and is worth a market check but Getaway Fred and Paseo look up against it on recent form.
