Verdict
SKYMAN (NAP) impressed over track and trip two weeks ago, despite having to wait for the gaps to open. He obviously has a turn of foot and can defy a 6lb rise to complete a quick double. Quick is also a recent winner, scoring at Brighton 12 days ago. But she had only two rivals that day and carries a penalty while stablemate Rollicking is having a first run in almost 12 months. Secret Art won at Chelmsford three weeks ago but is best on the Polytrack surface there. My Boy Sepoy is respected, however, as he’s won both previous starts here. Zzoro is preferred to Elhafei of the others.
