SKINT was making his debut for Charlie Longsdon when well backed at Aintree last month but could only manage fourth. Dropped in class today, a return to his best can see him back in the winners' enclosure. Sircozy is another with the past form to figure though Dolatulo has a fitness advantage having finished second over fences at this track last month. Scottish Boogie, Kambis and Dragon's Den have all ran well recently but need to take another step forward if they're to figure in this company.
