Forecasts

Uncle Don (11/4), Calyxoh (9/2), Eminency (6/1), United Approach (6/1), Tennessee Gold (17/2), Ararat (9/1), Grabajabba (11/1), Brunel Nation (16/1), This Farh (18/1), Bell Shot (22/1), How Impressive (25/1), Riot (50/1)

Verdict

UNCLE DON has been threatening to come good recently, shaping well from a long way back at Lingfield 15 days ago. His mark continues to edge down and this could be a good opportunity for him to strike. United Approach is consistent on the all-weather and should appreciate a stronger pace than he got at Kempton recently. Eminency is another to consider having stayed on well at Doncaster last time, along with Tennessee Gold who is likely in better heart than recent form figures suggest.
