Verdict

GIMMIEMINNIE was an eye-catcher on last month's first outing for Daragh Bourke and is given a chance to build on that promise. Being in form counts for plenty in this grade so 2 C&D wins this year make Sedgemoor a must for the shortlist. Fircombe Hall had an excuse last time and is another with recent winning form to his name.
