Touch Of Red will probably be able to show a fair bit more on his nursery debut from a mark of 59, but we will take a chance on SKELETON to scare them all off. William Haggas's filly also lines up for her first start in this sphere having had three maiden runs including a decent effort at Brighton. The step up to this trips looks a positive, while first-time headgear could sharpen her focus. Focail Maith carries a penalty for a comfortable Yarmouth win over 7f and should get the trip without a problem, though these are very different conditions. Educated Son ran well from this mark at Wolverhampton and is not ruled out.
