Verdict
Cahar Fad beat Les Gar Gan over track and trip before the latter won over a shorter distance. That pair look closely matched but The Way You Dance has a bit to find with Outlaw Torn on running here in October. BLACK MINSTREL scored over course and distance last month and faces an easier task than when placed at Chelmsford last time. John O'Shea's charge gets the nod back in this grade with Red Unico still looking too high in the weights.
