Uncle Max can master the other last-time-out winner Miss Skippy, with Mysteri Dancer and Antony Ebeneezer others to consider. Uncle Max finally regained the winning thread when landing a selling handicap at Hereford in June and may now start to fulfill his potential. Although his previous success over hurdles, a juvenile event at Ascot last August, was not out of the top drawer either, it showed that he had enough ability to win a few more at least. In truth this is little more than a seller, and he can follow up. Miss Skippy got her head in front in a run-of-mill claimer at Worcester and is no good thing to repeat the feat, while Mysteri Dancer has not been since scoring over the course and distance last August. Antony Ebeneezer ran quite well behind Red Nose Lady at Uttoxeter and on that form may be fighting for a place, but for the winner we return to Uncle Max.
