Smile Pleeze has been raised 11lbs for his 10-length victory over Uncle Mick here last time when Celioso was further behind but the 12-year-old was good value for further than the winning margin and is taken to confirm the form. The selection has shown much improved form this term and the former hunter chaser is taken to complete a quick hat-trick. Uncle Mick has been beaten again since his defeat behind the selection and is difficult to recommend, while Celioso probably needs help from the handicapper. Something Dandy receives plenty of weight and is consistent but in all reality is again likely to find at least one too good, with Smile Pleeze expected to be too strong for his three rivals.
