Verdict
Uncle Arthur is quickly back over hurdles after falling at the first over fences at Bangor. His yard also run top weight Moonshine Spirit but, at the opposite end of the handicap, we’ll take a chance that SUPERSTYLIN arrives here on a going day. Emanate has won a couple of times this summer and Delgany Dreamer might be improving but Flat winner Cardano has been a major disappointment over timber.
