Formscan - The Dan Skelton team has been ticking over nicely of late and RONNIES RULES looks ready for his first assignment over the smaller obstacles, having won all three of his bumper starts. As a son of Imperial Monarch, who scored on heavy going, the testing ground should not be an issue and the five-year-old is preferred to Can't Resist It, who is open to more improvement on the jumping front after fast-finishing second at Market Rasen in May. Runner-up on her penultimate start over C&D, Hard As Nails cannot be ruled out either.
