MR SKIPITON is taken to land his hat trick with both Tober and Figaro Flyer worth noting. The selection won back to back races at Kempton and Lingfield both of which on the all weather. He has been raised a further three pounds for his troubles which does not look enough to stop him winning again. Tober has his first run of the season having won back to back races at the latter end of last season. He has risen five pounds in the ratings since his latest win at Mussleburgh which means he has to carry top weight her. Life will not be any easier for him but if back to his best he has every chance of being in the frame. Figaro Flyer ran with credit when third of ten at Wolverhamton last time out. His has largely performed on the all weather of late but he did run well on his last turf start when finishing second to Bold Argument over course and distance last June so any market support should be noted. However for the winner we return to Mr Skipiton.
