While defying a penalty is always a tough call, the race won by UNCLE ALASTAIR on debut has worked out particularly well and, with opposition here looking thin on the ground, Nicky Richards' charge might prove good enough to follow-up. Witness Time is a likely improver and can battle for the minor honours with Dunly. 1. Uncle Alastair 2. Witness Time 3. Dunly
