Skeaping’s earlier success came in plating company on a trip over to Uttoxeter and CITY LIMITS is preferred. The latter makes a quick reappearance having finished third in maiden company at Roscommon during the week and there should be more to come from James Nash’s charge now handicapping. Ashjan was placed off a similar mark here in April but Lleyton still looks high enough in the weights over timber and Adimelo hasn’t won over hurdles since 2015 and that was a maiden race.
