Verdict

Skint justified market support on his first run for Michael Scudamore at Taunton in March but has reverted to type since and has a lot to find with MURRAY MOUNT if he is to reverse Southwell running in May. The top weight won easily again here last month and should be good enough to defy a penalty. Glenteeneasaigh seems to reserve his best for Lydstep’s point-to-point circuit while Cry Fury has only been placed three times in 17 runs under NH Rules and is a very moderate performer nowadays.
