Verdict

Dan Skelton and Olly Murphy saddle 8 of the 13 runners with SHEEZER DANCER the obvious port of call on her return to action. Taranis Dubh should have more to offer this season, while point recruit King's Affinity demands respect.

11	Third in a big-field Cheltenham bumper last spring and back to something like hurdling debut form when third at Kempton in February. That race worked out quite well and she sets a pretty high standard on her return. 1st Pick 11 Sheezer Dancer (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	34%

6	Won sole start in Irish points and shaped as if the run would bring him on when third of 8 in a Newton Abbot bumper in April, no extra only final 50 yds. Failed to justify favouritism sent hurdling at Warwick soon after but it was by no means a bad effort in second. Tongue tie on for return. 2nd Pick 6 Taranis Dubh Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	91	-	-	-	63%
