Verdict

Having gone close at Catterick at the end of last month, Mini Magna duly went one better here next time. His experience will stand him in good stead and he looks to have a decent draw while Hello Cotai is having sights lowered after runs at Newbury and Newmarket. SALVUCCIO started out in a Class 2 at Nottingham against more experienced rivals and was far from disgraced in fifth. The third has since gone close again at Ripon so the form may be decent. Newcomers Belle Pearl, Invincible Speed and Pulpit are all worth a second look.
