MINIMEE bounced back with a victory over 7f here last week in soft going. He scored off a higher mark over today's longer trip earlier in the year and can defy a penalty in this company. It's hard to make a decent case for any of the rest, though there may be more to come from Red Catkin on only her second start of the year, while Azabitmour has a shout on his earlier form in France. Mick Dundee has proved best on the all-weather so far but Entrapping continues to slip down the weights and finished a bit closer last time.
