Sky More has done nothing wrong in winning both his starts so far and can maintain his 100 per cent record here, with Colorado Rapid and Flying Encore appearing to be the main dangers. The selection won a Southwell maiden before impressing with an eased-down six length win at Nottingham. There was juice in the ground that day, but his pedigree suggests he will be equally effective on faster ground so he can complete a hat-trick. Colorado Rapid has a fast ground win over this trip at Ripon to his name and ran well in defeat on his handicap debut last time. He won't be far away. Flying Encore is still a maiden after four attempts but has run with merit on each occasion and is no back number. The faster ground here should suit and so don't rule her out, while Leon Knights looks best of the remainder, but our vote goes to Sky More to continue his winning run.
