Verdict

Dan Skelton's mare SHAKEYATAILFEATHER is thriving at present so can defy another 4 lb rise in the weights here to complete a quick hat-tatricc. First Street is still to get his head in front over fences but rates much the biggest threat off a handy-looking mark with chasing newcomer Sunset Hill not totally discounted either.
