Dan Skelton often unleashes untapped potential in his new charges and it’s almost certain that ARTICLE FIFTY (NAP) will have come on a bundle for his easy win in a weak maiden here in June - a mark of 115 looks very lenient. Midnight Request came back to his best when successful at Southwell last month but Peter Bowen is still struggling to find a race for Get An Oscar. Come On Charlie has been equally frustrating while Bangor winner Handy Hollow struggled off his new mark at Stratford. Hattaab has been beaten three times off this mark recently and is trying a new trip while West To Crossgales steps up in grade.
