Verdict

Dan Skelton has managed to transform a couple of ex-pointers lately but will have had his work cut out with Daulys Anthem. Only a nose separated SAGE MONKEY and Go On Henry here last month on similar terms but Kerry Lee’s charge is fancied to confirm the form, though the latter should strip fitter today. Irish Thistle was just beaten when last running at this lowly level so is respected, though is still 3lb higher.
