Skeaping was beaten in a seller last month and he will struggle to give 11lb to AMALFI DOUG. Having a first run for Keith Dalgleish, the former pointer trounced Green Zone by 10 lengths over track and trip 12 days ago and is probably capable of better. Stop Talking was only beaten a length at Aintree last month and won here in April but Desert Island Dusk is struggling to get his head back in front and it’s a long time since Sky Khan was in the winner’s enclosure.
