Race preview
UNCLE BRYN created a big impression when winning twice on the all-weather last year in maiden/novice company and he has to be respected this afternoon. The son of Sea The Stars will obviously have to take a step forward to maintain his unbeaten record now upped in grade, but he should have more to offer as a three-year-old. Too Friendly has improved with every start to date and his maiden victory over 1m2f at Doncaster last month was certainly eye-catching. Star Caliber made a winning debut as a juvenile at Goodwood and he looks to have a very bright future. Others to note are Pythagoras, Hector De Maris and Surprise Exhibit.
