Verdict
Uno Valoroso beat Mwangaza, Mighty Cliché and Amethyst Rose in a novices' handicap over track and trip three weeks ago. But he's 8lb higher as he bids for a hat-trick and Pauline Robson's charge has a chance of reversing the form today. SHINE A DIAMOND's own hat-trick attempt came unstuck at Kelso last time but that wasn't his true running. He's back on the same mark as when dead-heating at Musselburgh previously and gets another chance. Stablemate Crackerjack Lad looks held on the form book.
