£80,000 buy after a storming success in Uttoxeter bumper for Tom Weston in April and looks to hold solid claims of following up under a penalty having joined top yard.

Forecasts

Realco (5/4), Uptown Dandy (5/2), Scorpio Rising (5/1), Limerick Lass (6/1), Front Bencher (12/1), Mistletoe (40/1), Geoffs Lad (250/1)

Verdict

UPTOWN DANDY is a half-brother to a dual winner in this sphere and represents an excellent stable, so he gets the marginal vote on debut ahead of Realco, who was last seen in April scoring readily for a different yard. Scoprio Risin is another notable newcomer.
