This won’t take much winning but a few of these are still maidens. Our Uncle Pat is one but has been placed in his last three runs over the larger obstacles. TANRUDY has had wind surgery since running in snatches and finishing fourth over course and distance in August. He also wears a visor today to help him concentrate so gets the nod in the hope that the refinements have the desired effect. Anti Cool won here in June but has disappointed the last twice off higher marks and Ask Paddy and Pinch Of Ginger are returning from a break.
