Skukuza
Form dipped last time when he raced too freely; otherwise a broadly consistent sort who may rebound, provided he settles better; has Group form and can't be dismissed from a ratings perspective but may be more interesting when back at the Curragh where he's 2-2 (only 1-15 elsewhere).

From the connections
“It was a brave decision not to run when you are one of the favourites for the Hunt Cup but the plan has worked. Skukuza did everything right and I think the further he went the further he was going to win. He likes coming back here for Classic days so maybe there is something for him on Oaks day! - Robin Trevor Jones, stable representative.”
“We came here for the rain and it came at the right time. Skukuza deserved to win this. He got injured in the Britannia and things haven't gone right for him. He's a smart horse and the could possibly go to the Hunt Cup next - Ed Dunlop, trainer.”
