TIMEFORM Fairly useful form last year and, having been gelded, ran better than on his first start this season when mid-field at Epsom at the beginning of the month, though off the bridle a long way out Needs to find more again, but step up in trip could suit BHA 88

Race Summary: In first-time blinkers, SKYSAIL relished the longer trip when making a winning handicap debut at Goodwood on his return and he can follow up with further progress to come. Swift Lioness also arrives on the back of a win last time out and could be the main danger, while Helm Rock can give another good account
