Silk Run is the likely pace angle but remains out of sorts. Prettylittlething has been chasing and it’s a while since she showed any worthwhile form over fences which leaves SKEWIFF as the likely winner. She has also been running over fences and hasn’t raced since falling at Haydock in April but she should have the measure of these at the weights if fully wound up.
