Verdict
SKILLED stepped up markedly on his debut at Navan to win at Wexford last month. He will be suited by further in time but this looks his for the taking, despite a penalty, as none of his opponents have shown a great deal so far. Solway Prince, placed here in a bumper, was beaten 30 lengths at Carlisle and has never raced on ground this fast. Abyaat was modest on the Flat and didn't show much on his hurdles bow while Lockedoutaheaven is flattered by his form figures.
