Uncle Bernie is penalised for last week's win over track and trip and Mister Bob has been raised a further 4lb for finishing second here a fortnight ago. Both Hidden Justice and Cousin Khee are perfectly capable of winning off their current marks judged on recent placed efforts but this can go to BUCKLAND (NAP). The latter found only one too good in a higher grade at Kempton last time and Charlie Fellowes' charge can race off the same mark today.
