Verdict
My Ukulele scored over track and trip last month with SMASHING LASS back in third. But the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms and it could be her turn today. David O’Meara’s filly had earlier finished in front of You Little Beauty when runner-up here while Call Him Al counted My Ukulele among his victims when winning at Musselburgh in August but has struggled since. The remainder are harder to recommend unless the likes of The Names Jock, Pageant Master and Klipperty Klopp improve now handicapping.
