Beaten 6l over 6f here (maiden plate) last month; capable of going well given several of his rivals have questions to answer and he ran well in defeat two starts back; held an entry at Scottsville Sunday.

Beaten 6l (fourth) over 7f here (maiden plate) in May; strong claims given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Yet to finish better than sixth in his four races; was tailed off last month in a maiden juvenile plate; has to prove this longer trip is what he wants and passed over.

Verdict

Uncle Bob is an interesting contender from the ideal draw but TRURO LEGACY can prove superior to his rivals. Angle Of Attack is on the shortlist, and Give Me A Chance looks a decent option.
