In depth
Verdict
Gregs Way has been running well of late, but he has more to do off this mark. Xaipete hasn't won for over two-years and didn't show much over hurdles at Fakenham on Wednesday, so this looks best left to the consistent Minster York, who found the heavily watered ground at Worcester against him. Back on genuine fast ground, he looks the one to beat.
