      Verdict

      LOCHALSH has a penalty for his win at Wincanton but Dan Skelton's four-year-old looks to be on an upward curve and will be a short price to double his tally over timber. Ishusharella never threatened when third over further at Kempton and newcomers Gambol and Impeccability look bigger dangers. Ian Williams' five-year-old was a fair sort on the Flat and, though returning from a break, is expected to prove the best of that pair in the long term.
