Verdict
Le Brocquy slipped up before the third flight at Fakenham last time and is better judged by a good second to Newgate at Market Rasen last month, form on which Martin Keighley's gelding has solid claims, and he looks the main danger to the selection SUPER ROSS, who gets the verdict with Ministerofinterior rated the best of the rest. The selection was good value for his Ludlow success in February and was going well before falling at Stratford the following month. Evan Williams has his team in fair form and Super Ross is taken to give him another winner. Art Gallery has shown some promise in sellers of late but needs to improve to trouble the selection, while Keith Reveley's Silver Syd takes a big drop in class but has been well held in previous starts over hurdles. Gary Moore's Ministerofinterior, a winner at Exeter last month, lost no caste in defeat behind Festival Dreams at Wincanton subsequently and he has to be considered but Super Ross has an obvious chance and he is preferred.
