Scored in similar company at Market Rasen but held off higher marks in both starts since. Yard not in the form they were then and stable jockey prefers the topweight.

Beat a useful sort at Leicester during the winter and not disgraced in a good race at Ayr last time. Nicely weighted but likely to need this.

2/1
No easy ride but he is now 3-6 following his latest success here. Slightly shorter trip is a worry, but the fitting of cheekpieces ought to be a benefit and stable hurdlers are 6-23 here over past five years.

7/1
Has not taken to chasing and reverts to the smaller obstacles on an attractive mark for a stable that are 12-37 with hurdlers here over the past five seasons.

20/1
Three-time hurdles winner who finished a good second in Pertemps Hurdle qualifier at Cheltenham in October. Fit from a spin on the Flat but latest effort suggests he might want further nowadays.

6/4
Form of his latest victory does stand up to what is required here, however he is lightly raced and that was his first run in 16 months.

Forecasts

Majestic Touch (6/4), Notnow Seamus (7/4), Haul Away (2/1), Arthington (13/2), Miss Crick (7/1), High Secret (14/1), Milrow (20/1)

Verdict

Notnow Seamus is the pick of the Skelton pair, but the stable are finding winners harder to come by and the topweight has to find a fair bit to overcome a hefty 12lb rise for his latest success. Majestic Touch landed an uncompetitive heat last time but is on the upgrade, whilst Miss Crick is back over hurdles and favourably treated following an unsuccessful spell over fences. HAUL AWAY has looked tricky in the past but boasts an impressive record and the fitting of cheekpieces may unlock enough to make him hard to beat here.
  1. Haul Away
  2. Miss Crick
  3. Majestic Touch
