Putin and West Leake carry penalties for their respective wins at Chelmsford and Kempton so SKIDBY MILL makes more appeal. The latter scored over track and trip last month and ran well for second in a higher grade here after that. Play The Blues returned to action with a good effort over track and trip but remains without a win in 23 starts now and Rosie Prospects is another yet to taste to victory.
