An Fear Ciuin has been placed in all four previous runs here but Mike Smith’s gelding may find one too good again in the shape of SKEAPING. Gordon Elliott’s charge appeared to show some improvement when stepped up in trip last time at Ballinrobe and has another quarter-mile to cover here. Ebony Rose should improve on her Market Rasen run and Ginny Brig and Special Prep also have each-way claims.
