Comment: Dual C&D winner for Dan Skelton last year; well beaten on first four starts (one on the Flat) for new stable this year but turned things around with creditable third of 15 here (2m6f, good) last month; good chance.

Verdict: Davidoc is 4lb better off with A DUBLIN JOB (nap) than when 3l second to him at Warwick in May but the latter can prevail again.

9/5

Comment: Launched chasing career with two wins in early part of last season and returned from 11-month absence to complete his hat-trick at Warwick (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; will be fine over today's longer trip and could still have more to offer over fences.

Comment: Won modest chase at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) in January and is also suited by much faster ground but has become very inconsistent in recent years; others in this line-up have much more appealing profiles.

Comment: 5-18 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago but the ground probably turned against him there and he's still on a workable mark.

Comment: Dual 2m6f chase winner in Ireland last spring (good/good to firm); off since below-par hurdle run in November, though, and it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting before this stable debut.
