Verdict

Evolicatt is the only one of these to have recorded a victory so far but that was on Tapeta at Southwell. UFFINGTON has only found one too good the last twice, including over 6f here last month when Little Edi was third. He went very close over this trip at Kempton nine days ago and will be 3lb higher in the weights from next week. Zara's Return has also been knocking on the door and looks the danger ahead of Salisbury runner-up Rose Prick and the consistent Saxon Scene.
