      Verdict

      Leo Minor has been steadily coming to hand and shouldn’t be far away again, though probably needs to drop a couple of pounds. If the forecast rains arrive, UNION ROSE would definitely come into the equation but she does handle a quicker surface as she showed here last year when successful off a 6lb higher mark. Midnightly has also been running on the all-weather but has yet to race on anything quicker than good on Turf. Belledesert, Handytalk and Fethiye Boy are all previous course winners but Edged Out and Silverrica look to have plenty to do on these terms.
