Skipping On was unlucky not win a race at the start of the year but a lack of recent action could hamper his chances in this. CITY NEVER SLEEPS has improved with each run this term and probably had a bit in hand when beating Joly Maker here last month so should handle a 6lb rise. Princess Roxy was third behind a subsequent winner at Bangor and Louse Talk placed last month at Stratford after cutting out much of the running. Lickpenny Larry has had a pipe-opener but Scartare is now 0-33 in career starts.
