Verdict

UPTOWN FUNK can register a first success on turf in what looks a competitive handicap. The selection should appreciate the return of cheekpieces and can see off Braes Of Lochalsh who finished a good third here last time out and has run well over C&D in the past. Alphabetical Order carries top weight here but ran well over hurdles last time out and can claim third on his return to the Flat.
