TOKEY DOKEY remains unbeaten having followed a debut bumper win with a recent hurdles victory over track and trip. He’s penalised for that success but today’s opposition looks only modest and Dan Skelton’s charge can go in again. Boy Named Sioux has placed over timber and has undergone wind surgery since last in action in April. he’s preferred to Chez Hans while Speed Company is rated much higher on the Flat than hurdles newcomer I'm Running Late but has already been well beaten over timber. Peeping Tom may prove a bigger threat on his hurdling bow having won a point-to-point in Ireland along with Arctic Road.
