King Of The Sea (10/11), Skibo (3/1), Lady Chartwell (11/2), Yellow Card (17/2), Made U Blush (16/1)

KING OF THE SEA pulled well clear of the third when making a successful start to his handicap career at Haydock last month so even a 7 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. Skibo was a promising second on his C&D handicap debut and may be the one to give Ed Walker's charge most to think about.
