Verdict
Holryale represents the in-form Skelton team but is not the most straightforward and has to give weight away to all rivals. He should be involved but BAL DE RIO has been in good form on the Flat for Brian Ellison and has a leading claim if transferring his ability back to hurdles, over which he has previously been consistent without getting his head in front. Stole The Show has produced a solid string of performances since joining Dr Newland, the last twice in decent handicaps, and is sure to be in the mix.
