UCELLO CONTI and Sydney Paget finished one-two in a January point-to-point and it is difficult not to see a repeat of those finishing positions here. The Gordon Elliott-trained 11-year-old has been revitalised by a switch to this discipline and can confirm superiority in this contest with the expensive Timewaitsfornoone capable of hitting the frame.
