A tricky opening contest, but the return to likely better ground and a recent wind operation may see Minella For Me finally getting himself back on track. There's ability there, as he showed when narrowly defeated at Leicester in January and he may be able to unlock it today. Phoebus Lescribaa looks the danger if he can cut the little mistakes out that he made at Stratford, with Viva Rafa and State The Obvious fighting it out for third.
