Signposts: Greatrex’s Davis can play Major role at Towcester

Dan Skelton has an excellent record of 43 winners from 138 runners, a 31 per cent strike-rate, with horses having their first start for him having switched from another stable. Weightfordave was formerly trained by Noel Meade in Ireland and makes his debut for Skelton in the 4.50 at Kempton.

Warren Greatrex is a trainer to follow when saddling a handicap debutant. His record with such runners stands at 12 wins from 64 runners, a 19 per cent strike-rate, and backing all such runners to a £1 level stake would have yielded a profit of £34.00. Major Davis fills the criteria in the 6.30 at Towcester.
