Verdict: It is hard to get away from UNCASHED. He is arguably the pick of these based on his recent success and is proven at the trip, while Sitka is another to consider.

Comment: From a respected yard and has managed eight wins from 16 career runs; won by just over 5l at Hawthorne over 5f (allowance optional claimer) 14 days ago; form of the trainer is a plus; clear chance.

Comment: Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win) and normally pretty consistent; creditable effort to finish runner-up two months ago (sloppy track) back down to this trip behind Uncashed (Keeneland) in a claimer; by no means ruled out; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he can handle the step up in class.
