        Verdict

        MY UKELELE was going away at the finish when beating The Big House and Abie's Hollow over course and distance at the start of the month. The placed horses are better off at the weights but John Quinn’s charge is improving a rate of knots and can win again. Uncle Norman is worth another try over a mile and Alfa Dawn found only one too good back over this trip at Beverley but Newcastle scorer Castle Quarter has run poorly in both previous tries over this longer distance. Mecca's Gift looked too high in the weights when third at Carlisle.
