Race preview
Runner-up over timber on his two most recent outings, Yggdrasil can have a say in proceedings back over fences, especially given he is now rated 3lb below his last winning mark. However, there has been no stopping SKINFLINT of late and Henry Oliver's 11-year-old is fancied to secure a hat-trick. He went up 10lb from his extended 2m3f win here to his C&D triumph, so a further 7lb rise may not be enough to hold him back. Rock Of Star also bolted up over C&D most recently and is another to bear in mind.
