Verdict
MINSTREL LAD is an obvious choice in this company having scored in a higher grade at Newmarket last time. He's preferred to Formidable Guest who had Night Sky and Beat Up behind when third over C&D recently. Tinkerbell Will was a disappointing favourite in testing ground last time having won at Kempton before that and she can figure though June's Bath winner, Pindar, ran a shocker behind the selection on his latest start. Galloping Queen could prove best of the remainder as she drops back in distance.
