This could be set up for UBLA to uphold recent form with Viola Park and gain another AW success on the way. The gelding needs to better previous form at this course but takes his chance at a winnable level and can build on a series of near misses. Sepani and the previously mentioned Viola Park are suggested as the main dangers, while Phoenix Star can also go close if the trip doesn't cause him any issues. Brigand has a 5lb penalty to cope with after his win here last week but is also highly respected.
