The one who stands out is HIGHLAND HUNTER, who did well to get his head in front at Musselburgh in February on just his second start for Paul Nicholls. A 5 lb rise almost certainly underestimates this 7-y-o. Skipthescales was beaten almost 8 lengths when third to Sultans Pride at Hexham, but he enjoys a healthy pull at the weights and is second choice ahead of Gillian Boanas' representative.
