FormscanBy Tom Weekes - OUR UNCLE JACK is a lightly-raced ten-year-old who came good in a recent wide-margin win at Clonmel and might defy the handicapper’s 12lb hike. He had previously shown glimpses of useful ability, scored at Tramore in 2023 and, despite his age, might progress higher than today’s rating with today’s rider being able to claim 4lb. Uptaurintop showed improvement on handicap debut when finishing a close third to a subsequent winner at Limerick during Christmas and should compete. Mud-lover Marelly was enterprisingly ridden to score at Gowran and is 7lb higher while Verbal Sparring is himself 7lb ‘north’ following his Down Royal success. Galavanting George debuts in handicaps while Dairy Force and Kelly’s Cosmos each has recent form.
