Linngari, Minnesota and Briannsta are the three we like here and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection won well last time when defeating Moon Forest at Warwick and with further improvement likely and this quicker ground also in his favour he should take plenty of beating. Linngari won well at Lingfield last time to defeat Raza Cab and as that was a significant improvement on his debut effort he is certainly going the right way. However, the suspicion is that he will do better over further in time and for that reason he is narrowly passed over. Minnesota is dropped in grade after finishing last in a Listed race behind Perfectperformance last time. A watching brief on the market is advised on this colt from the Henry Candy yard for any signs of confidence. However, Briannsta looked a colt worth following when winning last time and with more still to come he is given the vote.
