KEREMAN (NAP) has won both starts since wind surgery and escapes a penalty for last week’s success in a conditionals’ race at Plumpton. Dan Skelton’s charge looks the one to beat bidding for a hat-trick and gets the nod to go in again. Danceintothelight is usually thereabouts without winning and looks stuck on his current mark but stablemate Armattiekan is less exposed and could be in the mix. Seapoint showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at Newcastle last time but Blue April would prefer more cut in the ground.
