Verdict

GLENMALURE FLYER has made a fine start for the Skelton yard and an 8 lb rise might not get to the bottom of her given her current rate of improvement over fences. Limerick Leader dominated from the front at Bangor last week and might pose the main threat if getting another easy lead this time.

1	Ex-Irish recruit (with plenty of point experience) who looked a different proposition when scoring in impressive fashion at Bangor (3m) on chasing/yard debut and resumed her progress when beating 2 subsequent winners in a 6-runner handicap chase (3/1) at Stratford (3½m, good to soft) 20 days ago. 1st Pick 1 Glenmalure Flyer (Ire) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	40%	6/4

3	Bounced back under an attacking ride to capitalise on a much-reduced mark in a 7-runner handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good, 17/2) 5 days ago. 7 lb penalty will demand more but he might be able to dominate this small field from the front again. 2nd Pick 3 Limerick Leader (Fr) Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: James Bowen T: Nick Scholfield	96	-	-	-	27%	11/4

2	Completed a quick-fire hat-trick over hurdles at Ludlow in February. Not as good over fences (not the most fluent jumper) but rating reflects that and he arrives after a pair of good second-placed finishes, most recently in an 8-runner handicap here 12 days ago. Stamina is an unknown upped in trip. 3rd Pick 2 Thank You Blue Jockey: I. J. Power Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: I. J. Power T: Jennie Candlish	98	-	-	-	27%	11/4
