Compiled a solid record in handicap hurdles, doubling his tally at Worcester (2m) in June and good placed efforts both subsequent starts. No surprise to see him prove as effective over larger obstacles and he's worthy of a second look.

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles who left previous efforts over fences behind when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Taunton (18.2f) 3 weeks ago. Does need to brush up on his jumping but possibilities if doing so.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €130,000 but well held over both sets of obstacles for present yard, albeit possibly needing run after 8 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, soft) 26 days ago. Too soon to write her off back down in trip.

Remains winless, producing another clumsy round of jumping when third at Ludlow (2m) on penultimate run. Shuddering error compromised his chance when fifth at Hereford (2m) latest and jumping a concern despite easing mark.

Modest winning hurdler who hasn't looked a winner in waiting in trio of chase tries since the summer. Return to handicaps in his favour now but others make stronger appeal.

Down the field in trio of starts on Flat and similar story over hurdles prior to finishing runner-up in handicap at Ffos Las (15.8f) in May. Well beaten both subsequent outings and switch to chasing needs to bring about improvement.

Made a winning start over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (2m) last month. Unseated at the sixth at Southwell (15.8f) in follow-up bid 2 weeks ago and worth noting he hasn't always looked the most straightforward.

6/5
Cost plenty after finishing second in a point. No impact over hurdles but more like it sent handicapping over larger obstacles when fourth at Taunton (18.2f) 19 days ago, mistake 2 out before keeping on well run-in. Type to improve further and he's shortlisted.

Forecasts

Skin Full (6/5), Universal Secret (6/1), Garitsa Bay (6/1), Dunstall Rambler (15/2), Shuil Ceoil (15/2), Haafback (15/2), Lady Pretender (25/1), Seren Y Teigr (40/1)

Verdict

SKIN FULL left his hurdling exploits behind when finishing a respectable fourth on chase debut at Taunton 3 weeks ago and open to improvement from such a low base, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Lady Pretender has yet to threaten in 3 starts for Venetia Williams since arriving from France but can't be written off yet. Chase debutant Garitsa Bay and Shuil Ceoil complete the shortlist.
