Fairlawn Skipper may sit four pounds behind the top-rated Paddy De Pole on these figures, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge over that rival make a compelling case for him to overturn the narrow ratings deficit at Sedgefield over this stiff twenty-seven furlongs on good ground. Paddy De Pole remains the chief danger if fully wound up, while Parikarma, though sixteen pounds adrift, cannot be entirely dismissed in a small field where anything can happen. The selection is Fairlawn Skipper.
