Verdict
Jonnie Skull reserves his best on Turf for Yarmouth nowadays and carries 6lb extra for his latest victory at the Norfolk track. Illustrious Prince has come up short three times since winning over course and distance in July yet is still creeping up the weights while Lingfield winner Liberty Jack may also have a few pounds too many now. Bogsnog could be interesting under a 5lb claimer, however, if he stays the extra furlong and Breccbennach was only beaten half-a-length in a blanket finish at Chepstow last week. ORTAC ROCK hasn't been disgraced in stronger company since winning an Epsom claimer in July. He looks to be on a decent mark and could land an open-looking contest.
