Verdict

The ability of Dan Skelton to generate great improvement from horses transferring to his yard is there for all to see, exemplified by the smooth success of DORRELLS PIERJI (NAP) on debut for the yard 17 days ago. The gelding was a classy sort for Willie Mullins back in 2018-19 and it's hard to predict how much of that ability remains but looks the one to be with here after that easy Huntingdon win. Better Getalong could shake him up though as he's incredibly consistent at this level and stable conditional, Conor Rabbitt, claims his full 10lb allowance. Itacare has returned to work in good heart after wind surgery during the winter and merits shortlisting.
