Verdict

Well-bred debutant DELGANY SECOND NOW gets the vote for Dan Skelton, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Otie's Friend will be a danger if bouncing back to the level of his opening Huntingdon second, while Blue's Secret Gem is another newcomer who would very much need considering if the market speaks in her favour.
