Verdict

JONNIE SKULL made the most of a drop in class with a convincing victory at Wolverhampton last week, but this doesn't look that much tougher and he won off today's mark last year. Phil McEntee's charge can follow up at the main expense of Saucy Buck, who had Cristaliyev behind when beaten only a length in third over C&D last time. Efistorm and Do More Business have yet to score over 7f, though Putin has been given a chance by the handicapper and showed a bit more on his latest start.
