Verdict
MINNIEMUM looks certain run her race again and can give the weight away. Masked Dance had wind surgery last month and has placed a couple of times over hurdles. She should go close in this if fully wound-up and stable companion Houston Calling could also be interesting, though Cooleenymore may have a possible fitness advantage having finished second again at Chepstow last month. Only Fools often flatters to deceive.
