Ski Sunday can weave his way to victory here at the main expense of Mission Control and Tiger Spice. The selection is a lightly-raced colt and he ran a blinder last time at Wolverhampton when second behind Little Firecracker. He was well-backed that day but he did show signs of greenness and he looks the type who will improve for the outing. Mission Control won well last time despite running green and as he has only had the two runs there could be more to come. However, this is more difficult and we prefer the claims of Ski Sunday. Tiger Spice disappointed in a claimer at Wolverhampton last time, so he is hard to recommend back in handicap company. Kryptonite won a nursery in good style at Wolverhampton last month but he has not really gone on from that and for the winner we will stick with Ski Sunday.
