Verdict

Most of these arrive out of form but UNION JACK D'YCY is the exception. He finished closer when fourth at Uttoxeter last week and should be in the firing-line with a similar effort. Big Generator remains 12lb higher than when winning in Ireland earlier in the year but Ringa Bay is on a winning mark if rediscovering his best. Winds And Waves has slipped down the handicap and was fancied in the betting on last month's reappearance but failed to complete.
