Skeaping beat the odds-on BALLYELLIS (NAP) a short-head at Fakenham and followed up here just 24 hours later. But he’s never won beyond 2m and is now 4lb worse off with his old rival, who won over track and trip last month under Jordan Nailor and later at Worcester. Mustaaqeem is held on the form book but Goldslinger is interesting having a first run over hurdles since only beaten a neck in a handicap at Fontwell in May.
