Harry Skelton has been booked for five-times point-to-point winner King Of The Clothe, who was returning after a long break when down the field in a hunter's event at Wincanton last month. NO LIMITATIONS scored on good ground at Larkhill in December and made the odds-on Premier Magic pull out the stops in a Leicester hunter chase last month. Lorcan Williams can steer him to victory though Cousin Pascal also ran well in division one of that Leicester event and looks an obvious threat. Rattle The Cage, a four-times winner between the flags, will have found the ground too testing on his return from a long absence here last month and should be ready to play his part while Merrion Avenue, a winner in Ireland in October, is an interesting entry.
