Dan Skelton continues to bang in the winners and his handily-weighted RISKINTHEGROUND, who took this event a year ago, looks the way to go having caught the eye when not enjoying the rub of the green in the Plate at the Festival last time. Irish challenger Zurich also comes here on the back of a good Festival effort in the Jack Richards and heads the list of dangers. The Bluesman, Outlaw Peter and Jour d'Evasion also need factoring into this cracking handicap.
