Simon Walker’s mounts in races like this usually attract market support and Skeetah should be no exception as John Quinn’s three-year-old has probably shown his best form on soft going. Teepee Time has been knocking on the door and is well berthed to grab the rails. Classic Pursuit must have some sort of chance at this level and Thornaby Princess’ rider claims 5lb but Brodie Hampson is fancied to steer LETMESTOPYOUTHERE to a fifth career victory, even though he hasn’t raced over a trip this short since 2016. He won over 6f last year and his stamina should be an asset if the leaders go off too quickly in the conditions.
