Verdict

It was hard not to be impressed with the way SKYTASTIC jumped and travelled when making a successful start in this sphere at Doncaster 22 days ago, and he looks well up to defying a penalty on that evidence. It's unlikely we've seen the best of both Ballyblack and Scarface yet and they head the dangers in a novice with plenty of depth.
