Verdict
UNCLE DICK will need some luck in-running if held up as usual but recent placed efforts on the Turf suggest he can score off his current mark. Silastar finished ahead of James Park Woods when third over 7f at Salisbury last month but most of the remainder have been competing on the all-weather and Rhubarb Bikini has a shout back on this surface as he drops down a grade. Secret Glow finished in front of a below par Desert Land when scoring at Lingfield in March while The Game Is On has been thereabouts at the same track.
