Possibly the trickiest race on the card, so with not too much confidence the vote goes to Wicked Uncle, but amongst many dangers, Blessingindisguise and Officer¿s Pink should run well. The four-year-old from Steve Gollings yard has taken time to find his form this season but ran a blinder to finish a close up third in a decent handicap at York last time and a reproduction of that effort should be good enough. The ten-year-old Blessingindisguise hasn¿t won for well over a year but has run some cracking races in defeat, most recently a valiant second behind American Cousin in a competitive handicap at Beverley. Also in good heart at present is Paul Cole¿s Officer¿s Pink who followed up her Ripon success in August with a close third behind Star Of Arabia at Leicester. The Jim Goldie pair Highland Warrior and College Maid should also be there at business end but Wicked Uncle is taken to land the spoils.
