Verdict
After winning at Southwell, Skylanna Breeze was never travelling when odds-on at Uttoxeter. Glendun was also a beaten favourite last time, at Southwell, but FLYING FOCUS made a winning start in handicaps at Sedgefield and that will have boosted confidence. Hidden Depths had won twice on the Flat before finishing third over 3m at Southwell but Stubborn Logic has a lengthy absence to overcome and has changed stables since last seen, though he looks the type to improve further after getting his head in front. Sweeping Rock also has a chance but is hard to predict and is the senior runner in this.
