Verdict
Uther Pendragon goes well here and has been thereabouts recently but Miss Sligo is an all-weather specialist who looked in the handicapper’s grip last time. Tribuna Uffizi was only beaten a nose at Leicester after scoring at Windsor but the three-year-old CAVENDISH is getting plenty of weight having been dropped a further 3lb since hampered at Lingfield with Franny Norton keeping the partnership intact.
