        Verdict

        Most of these have yet to encounter the forecast soft ground but SKYTREE is an exception. The sole filly in the line-up shaped well under such conditions in a couple of decent juvenile contests and looked in need of the run last month, despite not being beaten far, at Newcastle - William Haggas does very well on his northern raids. Dirham Emirati landed a small novice event at Newcastle last time but must concede 12lb to the selection but Auriferous has improved for a step up in trip this term. The extra two furlongs here should suit the Balding runner even more and the son of Golden Horn looks sure to be in the mix.
