Verdict

Danzigs Grandchild boasts the highest official rating and has every chance dropping into this grade with a 7lb claimer easing her burden. However, SKELETON produced her best effort so far when landing a nursery over C&D early in November and with the third horse having boosted the form by winning since a return to this track can see Willie Haggas' charge back to winning ways. Blaze On By has a bit to find with the selection on latest running and the rest make no appeal.
