Verdict

Dan Skelton continues in fine form and his HITINTHEHEADLINES is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now stepped up in trip and make a winning start over hurdles. Stick To The Board looked a good prospect when landing a bumper here in the spring and rates a major danger though, while Great Dance has the form to play a big part too. Fromjago'stomilan and Nimba are other hurdling debutants to consider in a fascinating maiden.
