Verdict
UNO VALEROSO made a winning start over fences when successful at Kelso recently. He beat the re-opposing Brother Scott six lengths and can confirm running despite the worse terms. Morning Time went close over these fences before disappointing at Sedgefield last time but the four-year-old Mwangaza has slipped down the weights and may finish closer as a consequence. Brunello makes his chasing bow but has yet to win in 10 starts over timber.
