Verdict

An open-looking sprint which can go the way of DARK ACE, who had a trio of recent winners behind him when scoring back from a break at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and Ado McGuinness' 4-y-o can defy a 4 lb higher mark. Stable-switcher Uncle Don needs things to drop right given his late-coming style but he can give the selection most to think about, with Silky Wilkie and Justcallmepete another couple who may well have a say, too.

9	Got his act together towards the end of last year and back on the up to make a winning return from 3 months off in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, leading close home with 3 last-time-out winners in behind. 4 lb higher mark doesn't seem insurmountable. 1st Pick 9 Dark Ace (Ire) Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland J: Oisin James Orr T: Adrian Mcguinness, Ireland	100	-	-	-	25%

8	Had been shaping up well towards the back end of last year, making late inroads having been trapped wide when seventh of 12 at Chelmsford in December. Has since switched yards and he's capable should things drop right for his late-coming style. 2nd Pick 8 Uncle Don Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Robert Cowell J: Marco Ghiani T: Robert Cowell	99	-	-	-	34%

5	Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when ending long losing run at Newcastle in January and quickly back to winning ways at Wolverhampton the following month. Just respectable efforts the last twice and a visor is reapplied. 3rd Pick 5 Silky Wilkie (Ire) Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: K. R. Burke J: Jack Nicholls T: K. R. Burke	98	-	-	-	13%
