Verdict
Skyhill is of obvious interest on a hat-trick bid and beat the runner-up ELLEON over track and trip last month. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms and has slipped to a very handy mark these days. Onestepatatime was ahead of Morningside over C&D earlier in the month and John Wainwright’s eight-year-old appears to reserve his best for this circuit. Myburg has been upped with a 4lb rise for a near miss at Catterick but Sue Smith’s gelding won’t be far away.
