      Verdict

      Rated 80, DUTCH UNCLE is clear at the weights as he drops down in class. He’s placed over this far in the past and will take the beating if running anywhere near his mark. Whinging Willie is next best on today’s terms and an apprentice’s 10lb allowance further helps his cause having gone close over today’s trip at Kempton last time but the remaining trio look up against it. Contingency Fee was still beaten a long way when runner-up in a seller at Wolverhampton recently though should have the measure of Don't Cry About It and London Grammar.
