Verdict
SKYDIVING has yet to win but has gone close on several occasions. Placed again at Lingfield a week ago, he may well get his head in front dropping down to this level as he is weighted to come out best. Mister Music also drops in class with an apprentice’s allowance helping ease the burden of top weight but the remainder have plenty to do on these terms. King Of Naples comes out best of them with headgear applied for the first time as has placed in plating races before.
