12/1
Won twice in 19 career starts (but not yet for this yard). Finished five places behind Wind In My Sails on his penultimate start here last month, but showed improvement next time at Salisbury when just over 2L third to Examiner in a Class 2 handicap. Cheek-pieces applied.

Has a blossoming profile and is unbeaten on synthetics in two starts (fourth of eight on turf on other start). Faces a hike in the weights, so turned out quickly under a penalty, and impossible not to be drawn to him considering how easily he dispatched Glorious Poet and eight others last week.

£120,000 purchase who showed some promise in the mud at Newmarket on debut over a mile, and backed that up when a ready winner of a 7f maiden at Salisbury in mid June. Left the impression that there was plenty more to come when switched to handicaps, and this opening mark looks fair.

5/1
Made all to land the odds in a weak 7f AW maiden in February, but wasn't disgraced when a 1L runner up to Ocean Air on handicap debut at Leicester in April. However, this looks a stronger contest, and needs to prove he stays 1m.

Forecasts

Mr Minerals (11/10), La Rav (15/8), Traveller (5/1), Wind In My Sails (7/1), Exceeding Power (10/1), Kingston Kurrajong (12/1), Cricklewood Green (14/1)

Verdict

Fine margins exist between Wind In My Sails, Exceeding Power, Cricklewood Green and Kingston Kurrajong based upon their clash over C&D in mid June, with perhaps the Martin Bosley trained runner preferred from that quartet at a track which clearly suits. However, it will pay to focus upon the pair of fast improving three-year-old's who look potentially a cut above this opposition. Mr Minerals has a thriving profile and is turned out quickly after his recent AW success at Kempton and it's impossible not to be drawn to him as an individual. That said; LA RAV looks a very similar type and he has already proved his versatility on grass on varying surfaces, and from an opening mark of 85 looks the horse to beat now stepping back up to a mile for his handicap debut.
