Verdict

Floki finished well behind Prairie Town and stablemate One For Billy here last month but Harry Skelton sticks with the seven-year-old. THOSE TIGER FEET (NAP) goes well fresh and soft going is no problem for Kim Bailey’s charge who gets the nod ahead of the unexposed Uttoxeter maiden winner Storm Of Light and Rosy World, who was in good form at Warwick in the spring.
