      In depth

      Verdict

      Skye But N Ben gained an overdue success last time out and can follow up this afternoon, Super Cross and Graceful Steps could provide most danger. David Barron's charge had gone close on numerous occasions before beating some modest types at Nottingham. This race isn't any stronger and if allowed to dominate again he will prove hard to beat. Super Cross ran well in his first handicap, just tiring in the last furlong or so. This slight drop in trip should suit and a big run can be expected. Graceful Steps won nicely on her handicap debut and went close next time under a penalty. She should run her race again and will be involved in the finish. Dee Jay Wells is steadily improving and looks the best of the rest, but Skye But N Ben won with a bit to spare last time and should be followed again.
