Verdict

SKYHILL is in great form at the moment with success coming over hurdles and fences. He is bidding for a hat-trick of wins here and he can get that off just a 3lb higher position than his last run over hurdles. Veauce De Sivola is the biggest danger as he is running well himself at the moment with a victory coming two starts ago at Musselburgh, while Walking In The Rain may improve for this step up in trip so take the lightly-raced gelding to fill up the placings.
  1. Skyhill
  2. Veauce De Sivola
