In depth
Verdict
Uncle Bernie just got the better of Stormy Morning when scoring over 1m6f here last month. That pair are closely matched again while Noor Al Haya returned to winning ways at Bath a fortnight ago and should be thereabouts again raised only 2lb. Jezza can be given a chance on his recent placed efforts but WINTOUR LEAP has much more scope. She was only beaten a short-head at Lingfield on her first start over 2m and looks up to winning off her current mark.
