RIZZARDO has placed around here and is 10lb lower than his last winning mark with Jordan Nailor taking off a further 3lb. Uncle O is only 1-25 and has been beaten three times of this mark this year, including when tailed off behind Obey The Rules at Market Rasen in August. Donald McCain’s charge has strong claims in this but Zuckerberg ran no sort of race at Southwell on Tuesday and is still penalised for an earlier win at Sedgefield.
