SKIPTHECUDDLES is taken to defy top weight having run very well on his chase debut at Newbury behind the talented Santini. It won't be easy, but he can come out on top. Yaltari is respected and has been in good form, and Prime Venture appeared to be getting the hang of this game when runner-up last time out over C&D. Coningsby could run better than his figures indicate having been a bit unlucky to date.
