Verdict
MINELLA ON LINE had a miserable time of things last season but finally got his act together on his reappearance last month when second over track and trip. He has slipped down to a favourable mark if building on that comeback run. Allez Vic failed to complete over fences on his return to action and reverts to the smaller obstacles today but Berea Boru ran well off a similar mark when placed here in June. Count Guido Deiro can race off a lower mark back over timber but Molly's A Diva is 7lb higher than her win at Exeter in February.
