Dan Skelton had a couple of well-backed handicap winners at the Cheltenham Festival and, despite the different code, any market move for Salkadan would be very interesting now up in trip on his first handicap start. However, fellow handicap newcomer RUM DIAMOND is arguably even more intriguing, being a half-brother to connections' highly talented pair Burdett Road and East India Dock, and he earns the vote ahead of the Skelton runner. Kindly Queen and Blackisthenewblack are other possible improvers, while Wedonttellthetruth (third choice) and Montu have already shown promise in handicaps.[Ben Hutton]
