Race Verdict
Minella Stars continues to perform with credit and there is no reason why he will not do so again here but the one to beat could be MADE IN TIME. Rebecca Curtis' representative was not at his best at Hereford over 2m3f last time but this longer trip is more to his liking and he can bounce back to form. Marescsou has not reproduced his best French form in two runs for Venetia Williams so far but it is too early to write him off.
Selection: Made In Time
Danger: Minella Stars
Alternative: Marescsou
