Uhuru Peak continues in excellent form and can take this modest event, Viola and W'ell Meet Again look to be the main rivals. Sarena Brotherton gets on well with this four-year-old who landed back to back victories under this rider at Redcar and Warwick. His recent second to Digital here makes good reading and he can regain the winning thread this afternoon. Stable companion W'ell Meet Again has been in decent form over hurdles and on the all-weather. He doesn't win very often but could be in line for some place money. La Viola showed improved form when dropped to this trip last time, landing a weak seller at Leicester. This race is just as poor and she should be involved in the finish. The pick of the others may be Gem Bien, but Uhuru Peak holds his form well and gets the decision.
