        In depth

        Verdict

        Noble Minstrel gets the confident vote in the finale with Saltrio and Dan's Heir rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Jaderon, he still looks ahead of the handicaper and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Saltrio rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Zalkani, the drop in trip will not be a problem but he will do well to give a weight and a beating to a less exposed rival and is taken on with this in mind. Dan's Heir would have a chance on his best form but consistency is not his strong point and he is taken on with this in mind. River City is another with place claims but may be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder, Sarwin looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Noble Minstrel.
