In depth
Verdict
MISS MINUTY has enjoyed a new lease of life since joining Jeremy Scott and has won three of her last four starts. She completed a course and distance double before scoring over a mile here last time and may not have finished improving yet. Dutch Uncle also has strong claims on his recent second over track and trip given he finished in front of both Van Huysen and Eltezam while Enmeshing won a maiden over 1m4f here just over a year ago and has been hurdling without success subsequently.
