In depth

Verdict

Minella Buster progressed from a modest debut to finish fourth at Lingfield and this won’t take much winning but WELLS GLORY is preferred. His bumper win here in May is working out well with the third and fourth having won over hurdles since. The Real Jet won a point around this time last year but finished last on his hurdles bow at Lingfield.
