Verdict

UMNDENI came up against an improver when failing to land the odds at Wincanton earlier this month and should recoup losses here, though is rated only 3lb superior to Landsman who reverts to novice company having run in a couple of strong handicaps since winning his maiden at Musselburgh. Admiral's Sunset is the only other with a chance as was out of her depth in a Listed race at Newbury when last seen but was looking a little exposed earlier.
