Not that many solid propositions here with nearly the entire field having some sort of question mark hanging over them. MINELLA TWEET looked to be on the way back to form on his penultimate start before soft ground caught him out last time and on a better surface a return to his last winning mark may see him back to winning form. Bach De Clermont ran well last time but he’s stepped up to 3m and there must be a doubt about his stamina. Wandrin Star has always looked the sort to do better over fences and now he’s wearing a tongue-tie for the first he may be able to show more. Leg Lock Luke would have a chance if his quirks don’t hold him back.
