John The Pirate is the only one with racecourse experience but he finished tailed off here 16 days ago. The market will be the best guide, especially concerning the Skelton pair Solomoon and Ygritte. The latter, a half-sister to three winners, has a fillies’ allowance and Tristan Durrell takes off a further 5lb. OBSESSEDWITHYOU also has a sex allowance in her favour and she is a full sister to a winning hurdler in France so gets the nod over Chandlers Bay and Jar Du Desert, who are also bred for jumping.
