Dan Skelton has begun the season well. KATEIRA (7) can make a winning reappearance with the forecast decent ground in her favour. May follow up her valuable Aintree handicap hurdle win during April. Evergreen and versatile DASHEL DRASHER (1) finished third in this upon return last year. Will find this easier than when well-beaten in the G1 Liverpool Hurdle last season. Irish raider SANDOR CLEGANE (4) was an excellent fourth in the 3m1f G1 Dooley Insurance Grade Champion Novice when last seen and needs to be respected along with THUNDER ROCK (5).
