Verdict

UNCLE DICK is proving a reliable sort and he can gain a second success of 2021 now the official assessor has relented after his recent Sandown third. Dolphin Vista is on a long losing run but commands respect on the back of his C&D third, with Hackbridge another bidding to arrest a winless sequence who merits consideration.
