Verdict

Ar An Shron should be capable of giving weight away here and is taken to beat Miss Skippy and Karoo. The selection was a very disppointing favourite last time out but had previously scored impressively on fast ground. If you ignore that last effort he has top be the choice in a weak contest. Miss Skippy won a modest contest at Southwell and followed that effort with a fair run at Worcester. She does appear to be weighted up to her best, but should still be in the shake up. Karoo has shown signs of ability in the past and could go well from his low mark. Chamacco is the only other in trhe field worth a mention and so it doesn't look too difficult a task for our selection Ar An Shron.
