Jonjo O'Neill's Interior Minister is typically unexposed but hasn't pulled up any trees so far and was well beaten on the Flat last month. Bangor winner Langarve Lady couldn't cope with her new mark at Ffos Las but Sterling Gent looks to be gradually getting there and Varene De Vauzelle has hinted at ability. CHURCH BRAY will be a chaser in time and has been racing over further but a strong pace here looks guaranteed and it would be no surprise if he recouped losses incurred at Wetherby and Perth this spring ahead of Newcastle fourth Tweedo Paradiso.
