SKILLED won well at Straford last month and has plenty going for him in this company . The gelding is still on the upgrade over fences and may hold too many guns for Highbury High and David John , who head the shortlist of threats from the rest. Minella Forfitness is another to bear in mind, as he holds solid place claims from just 5lb higher than for his win at Market Rasen in June.
