In depth

Verdict

It's hard to make a decent case for any of this bunch and that includes WORLDOR. But he's dropped in class and may come good as a consequence. Minister Of Mayhem has shown nothing over hurdles so far but Sirrah Star managed a third at Worcester in September and can figure with a similar effort. Annaroe has been well beaten either side of a second at Fontwell but still looks best of the remainder on that showing.
