Dan Skelton saddles five, with Harry Skelton riding Madara who is well handicapped on his spring chase form, while five-time hurdle winner Knickerbockerglory is also on a handy mark and may prove best of the champion trainer's squadron. However, some of the non-Skelton runners make greater appeal and preference is for KAMSINAS (nap), who has a notable record when fresh around this time of year. To Chase A Dream returns from a long absence for the up-and-coming John Dawson stable and this two-time course winner is feared most ahead of the unexposed Sanilam (third choice) and the progressive Perseus Way.[Ben Hutton]
