FormscanBy Donal Murphy - SKIB GOLD sprang a surprise when successful at 80/1 over the course and distance last July, and since proved that was no fluke. Beaten by just half-a-length when bidding to follow-up, he again performed with credit when a running on fourth at Dundalk in October. Winning three in-a-row last season, Deuteronomy is the second choice. While failing to make an impact on his return at the Curragh last month, the Robbie Burns-trained seven-year-old should step forward from that comeback effort. In truth, a case can be made for many others in this competitive affair. Starting off for Sean Davis and with a tongue strap and cheekpieces deployed, I Do Believe is of definite interest, while handicap debutant Broadchurch and the lowly-rated Prom Queen are others to keep on side.
