Perche never threatened at Redcar last time while stablemate Rewritten gets a 7lb claimer on board to help his cause. SKIP AND JUMP (NAP) has shown more promise and finished a close-up fourth over a shorter trip here last month. Roger Varian's filly gets the nod given Counterproof was well beaten on his recent debut. The latter's stablemate Inexes makes his racecourse debut but fellow newcomer Christmas Hamper is preferred while Pin Up was due to run here yesterday and would be ineligible if successful.
