In depth
Verdict
Swiss Cross and Woolfall Sovereign have been taking it in turns to beat each other of late with the latter coming out best over 5f at Lingfield last time. Both look high enough in the weights now and a couple of these may reverse earlier form with Swiss Cross. Sulis Minerva is one of those but MEZZOTINT is preferred. Marco Botti's colt was heavily backed on his return to action but never threatened and gets a chance to make amends with that run under his belt. All Or Nothin has shown good progress this year and may get involved on his first start since scoring at Chester in September.
