Verdict
This looks set to go to Janiture, who is taken to continue the good form of Paul Nicholls, who has saddled five winners from his last eight runners. The mare is clearly one of the lesser lights at the Ditcheat yard, but she can play her part here. Skinsey Finnegan is only of limited ability and would be much better off in a handicap, while the ex-Irish Deep King has plenty to prove having failed to complete in his three outings to date in this country, and Silly Boy seems devoid of any ability
