Verdict
Flicka Williams won over 2m4f at Bangor last month and improved again to score over this trip at Uttoxeter. He's 10lb higher in his hat-trick bid but can't be ignored. Dazinski was a stayer on the Flat so the step up in distance will suit and Sin Bin is better than he showed when favourite at Ascot in April. Newton Abbot second Vimiero and Exeter scorer Cruising Bye are others with a chance but Swing Hard has disappointed in his last two starts. MILANO MAGIC made an encouraging comeback in a maiden hurdle at Hexham and showed enough last season to suggest he was up to winning a race like this.
