Verdict
All seven runners have scored over course and distance in the past but WESTMINSTER (NAP) has the best recent form. Mike Appleby's charge was narrowly beaten by Patriotic over track and trip last time with the re-opposing Pretty Bubbles and Kung Hei Fat Choy immediately behind and can go one better in this. Ace Master and Beautiful Stranger can both figure back on this surface but Repetition and Tasrih arrive out of sorts.
