    Verdict

    Jonnie Skull is enjoying a new lease of life and chasing a third course win in just over a month in this. He only won by a short-head over 7f here last time, however, and has gone up the obligatory 6lb since though should again beat Hamble. Brown Pete earns full marks for consistency but he's starting to look like a gelding without a trip having been tried over distance ranging from a mile to 1m4f in his last four runs. Gift Of Silence is up a pound for finishing second here last time which means, including Philip Prince's claim, she is giving 8lb to HAIL PROMENADER. Anthony Carson's charge won off a 5lb higher mark over course and distance last July and may have seem too much daylight when favourite at Nottingham last time.
