In depth

Verdict

Wicked Uncle, After The Show, and Divine Spirit are the three that catch the eye in this decent handicap and After The Show is taken to come out on top. Kieren Fallon has been booked for the ride on Divine Spirit and although he hasn¿t won for over a year it is the first time Fallon has ridden him and the booking looks significant. He ran well here over six furlongs two outings ago and to like the track, but whether he is best suited by the minimum trip is open to conjecture. Wicked Uncle had looked ordinary before winning a claimer here last time and did it in game fashion and will have had his confidence boosted but this looks tougher. Rae Guest may hold the answer to this puzzle with After The Show. He was having his first outing for a year when scoring over this trip at Southwell and must take the beating. After The Show gets the vote.
