        Verdict

        The three-year-old Minalisa made a winning debut at Warwick on soft ground and went to Pontefract long odds-on to follow-up but ran moderately behind Indego Blues who has been well beaten since. Soap Wars gained his only victory on Turf on fast ground at Windsor last May for which he was raised 9lb and the handicapper has been unable to drop him due to his consistency. He should have no problems from Five Star Junior, who was behind over the C&D last week but Beat The Bell is only 3lb higher than when scoring at Goodwood in May and should get competitive. Peace Seeker only wins on Polytrack so this can go to PARADISE SPECTRE, who was in tremendous form around this time last year and has dropped to a winnable mark.
