SKONTONOVSKI bounced back to form in impressive fashion refitted with a visor over C&D 7 days ago, quickening to lead final 100 yds and well on top finish. He's one to be interested in again with his rider's claim off-setting his 7 lb rise in the weights. Brosna Empress arrives in good form and is feared, along with Lord McZie and Thunder Rain.
