Dan Skelton runs three in this but attention will be focused on PRETTY RECKLESS. She may be 0-7 over hurdles but was in decent form over fences earlier this year and is potentially well treated on those efforts. Jockey bookings would suggest Ayelya is the pick of Olly Murphy’s pair but she lacks a recent run. Kiruna Peak suffered a heavy fall here at the start of the month but wasn’t beaten far at Fontwell the time before and still has some scope.
