Verdict

It would be wrong to say the Skelton team are under a cloud but a 1-28 record over the past two weeks (at time of writing) is not the rate of return one would expect. Rebel Royal sets the standard but has to concede a penalty to two nice horses from respected yards. Comanche Red landed a Kempton bumper for this yard and is clearly one his trainer will expect to land a race of this nature before long. On this occasion DORKING COCK is favoured as he represents a trainer/rider combination who have forged an impressive record. The gelding looked green on debut but acquitted himself in a bumper against some top-class prospects.
  1. Dorking Cock
