SKILLED made a reasonable chase debut at Uttoxeter earlier this month, and although his jumping left something to be desired, he showed enough to suggest he can take this weak contest. Icanmotor and Kalaskadesemilley were modest hurdlers and are probably best watched on their first try over fences while Miami Present has shown little encouragement in his four chase outings to date and Bonobo was last seen being pulled up at Southwell. Jonjo O’Neill’s Conteur d'Histoire showed some promise over hurdles and can make the frame.
