UNCLE CHARLIE has only his second start on the all-weather having completed a recent double at Carlisle. He may well shrug off a penalty in his current form and confirm recent running with Guardia Svizzera. Nuns Walk is usually thereabouts at this level and can figure while both Letmestopyouthere and Royal Mezyan have slipped down the weights and posted better efforts last time. Circuit Judge wasn’t beaten far here on his handicap debut and Eastern Racer won off a 10lb higher mark last term.
