Lightly raced seven-year-old UNCLE AL (2) has been progressive over fences this season with a nose victory among similar company in a 2m5f contest at Sedgefield preceding a below par sixth at Catterick on Sunday. Respect as set to bounce back. CRAC DE MEGAUDAIS (1) could show further improvement following a distant fourth in a similar level 2m4f handicap chase a month ago at Plumpton. Won at this fixture here last year. Makes appeal. THREE ZAMBEZI'S (4) goes chasing for the first time after two poor hurdle results this lay-off. During February recorded a soft ground third tackling a 2m7f Lingfield handicap hurdle. Might feature if at best. HONNEUR DE SIVOLA (5) could make the frame.
