SKINT failed in a bid for a hat-trick when runner-up at Fontwell but a conditional takes 7lb off his back today and Michael Scudamore’s charge gets another chance in his current good form. The Banastoir reverts to chasing having placed over hurdles at Perth last time while Two Hoots and Holeinthewall Bar were both placed on their respective penultimate starts. Reverse The Charge won over track and trip in June and is only 2lb higher today.
