Verdict
MIND SUNDAY looks to have been found a winning opportunity. Nicky Henderson's mare, a winning bumper, looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten at Exeter and was elevated into Class 2 company at Haydock but finished a long way last of the three runners. This is more her grade and the opposition looks moderate. Winning point-to-pointer Havanella should do better over fences while Eavesdropping followed a Fontwell bumper success with a poor first effort over timber at Huntingdon. Signal Point has been very highly tried in bumpers without being disgraced and could provide the main threat.
