Verdict

MINKAAS had been off for 11 weeks prior to her close third at Yarmouth so it's possible she'll come on again and she gets the vote ahead of the class-dropping Grey Tamam and George Scott's Elpeeare. James Fanshawe has had a few first-time-out winners this year so Scoot Away needs checking out in the betting.
