Verdict
Fringill Dike was possibly flattered by his proximity to the 134-rated Barrichello when runner-up at Newcastle and the winner gives Donald McCain a good line on his Wetherby scorer MINELLADESTINATION, who made a successful debut at the West Yorkshire track despite showing obvious signs of inexperience. None of the others make much appeal.
