Formscan - Fairlawn Skipper is race-fit and arrives in good form following a Kelso success which suggested going back up in trip would suit. He's also got a top amateur in the plate and makes plenty of appeal but slight preference is for LITTLE LEDGEND, who is unbeaten in two starts since going chasing and has created sound impressions at Worcester in recent months. Brandt won narrowly at Galway and commands respect, as does Youdecide.
