Verdict

My Manekineko is 0-16 over fences and his last victory of any description came more than three years ago. Skipping On has gone well fresh in the past and is comparatively lightly raced. Charlie Snow Angel kept on for pressure at Kelso last week and is a past winner here but CASUAL CAVALIER beat him five lengths over course and distance in March and can confirm that form, despite worse terms. Neither Flaming Charmer nor No Such Number make much appeal on recent form.
