In depth
Verdict
Jonnie Skull has been making the most of a slide down the weights but another 6lb rise for landing a double at Yarmouth looks enough to prevent a hat-trick. Darnathean was winning for only the second time when successful at Brighton recently and he'll do well to follow-up off a higher mark while Leadenhall Lass has yet to show any improvement for her tumble down the handicap. Waspy has claims on his best form but a punt is taken on the veteran TAKITWO as he was beaten only a length at Salisbury last month and can race off the same mark today.
