Dino Velvet hasn’t run since August and finished last in his last two starts over fences. The King Of May has run poorly since the turn of the year but GRANDADS COTTAGE has returned from a lay-off in good form and still looks to be on a decent mark. Skytastic’s yard is in great form so he is worth a market check with Viva Lavilla still unexposed over fences and tried in cheekpieces today.
