Verdict
LAST THREE MINUTES can land the finale over Collateral Damage and Wovoka. Ed Dunlop has his string in good form and this 4-year-old made a pleasing return to action at Ascot last time when he was denied a clear run and he did well to finish fourth behind Trafalgar Bay. He looks to be more than capable of winning off his current mark and with that recent pipe-opener under his belt a bold bid is expected. Collateral Damage finished second behind Twilight Star last time and he should give our selection the most to think about. The tongue-tie is again applied today and a reproduction of his latest effort should see him competitive. Wovoka won two on the bounce before a disappointing effort at Haydock last time and the suspicion is that the handicapper may now have his measure. Pegasus Lad looks as though he will be seen to better effect when he is stepped-up in trip, and we will stick with Last Three Minutes to lead them home.
