Verdict

Preference is for MINHAD who made the frame at Sandown last time despite not getting the race run to suit (the second and third have both won since). He can double his tally for the season as he goes up in trip, with High Fibre feared most having made a bright start for James Owen. Koala Rose completes the shortlist.
