Dan Skelton certainly knows what it takes to land a valuable pot and SERVICE MINIMUM impressed when landing a C&D novice hurdle under a confident ride last month. She's fancied to make a winning start in handicaps, while Stumps Or Slips will have been earmarked for this race following a comfortable C&D win in June and should be suited by the likely strong pace. Dream Diamond has to be feared given James Owen's record with similar types, with Banderas another improver to note.
