Skilled Warrior steps back up in trip having gone close over a mile here while Tartan Chief was placed yet again at Epsom last time and needs to dig a bit deeper. TELE RED debuts on the all-weather but has been holding his form well on the Turf. He can effectively race off a lower mark than when scoring at Beverley last month if an apprentice’s allowance is taken into consideration and gets the vote. Both Hathlool and Coase return to this longer trip with the latter looking more favourably weighted.
