This looks an excellent opportunity for recent course bumper winner LOMAN LADY to make a winning start over hurdles. Getaway Vic bumped into another Skelton-trained one at Market Rasen on Friday and may again be second-best if turned out quickly.

Verdict
Runner-up on final start in points before readily going one better in a course bumper on first run for Dan Skelton 8 days ago. Switch to hurdles expected to suit given her background/connections and holds leading claims in what looks a very weak race.

Verdict
Irish point winner who looked a good prospect in bumpers but has run to a similar level in 3 starts over hurdles, finishing runner-up over a longer trip at Market Rasen (23f) on Friday, and he again bumps into one from the red-hot Skelton stable.

Verdict
Fair Kelso bumper winner has been absent for 14½ months prior to this hurdling debut over a significantly longer trip, but he's still more interesting than most in the context of a weak race.

Verdict
Steps up to a trip more in keeping with her pedigree with a first-time tongue strap added, but she's looked limited both starts to date, latterly on hurdling debut at Market Rasen.

Unimpressive strike rate in points and looked slow with cheekpieces fitted on her Rules debut, finishing a distant third of 6 in Uttoxeter novice hurdle (23f).

Verdict
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who was well below his fair Irish hurdle form in a couple of starts last summer, though a tongue strap goes back on for his return having had a breathing operation and he's well worth a market check on just his third start for a very capable yard.
