Verdict

We'll take a chance with SKYTRAIN. He's delivered very modest back-to-back runs when last seen but it's a hallmark of the Johnston yard that inmates frequently bounce back after poor runs. Previously, he went well in a competitive Glorious Goodwood handicap behind Extremity and this looks an easier assignment. He's a risk for sure but one worth taking to small stakes. Royal Connection will run her race but is a rare winner and could find one too good yet again whilst Scottish Glen arrives in good form at present and should be involved. Intomist has delivered solid efforts here on recent starts and is respected along with bottomweight Ixelles Diamond. The latter looks pretty interesting in receipt of weight all round as she's best suited by 7f on good ground and has been dropped 3lb for her latest effort when third at Newmarket.
