A 6lb rise prevented Uzincso from landing a four-timer having earlier notched-up a treble over course and distance. Tommy Rock is penalised for scoring here last week while Glenn Coco has been thereabouts over 7f lately. Espresso Freddo usually runs his race here and is preferred to Always Fearless and Red Jasper but PERFECT FOCUS (NAP) has the most scope of these. Placed in all three outings so far, he’ll be sharper for last month’s comeback run at Lingfield and this extra distance should suit the Crisford’s colt.
