In depth
Verdict
Uncle Mick, stays well and will still be going when others have cried enough and while the ground will be faster than ideal, he is taken to score. This is new territory for Il Capitano and if he stays, is capable of a big run, while Mister Doon ran well under a big weight last time and is not out of it.
