Verdict
A desperate finale in which the market may prove the best guide. The three-year-old Guardia Top may have a bit of scope while Flat winner Native Soldier attracted some support here in July. Sizing Tara wasn’t running badly before pulling too hard and running out of steam at Fontwell but MINNIE ESCAPE may be a bit better than she’s shown so far so is handed a tentative vote.
