Verdict

MINISTEROFINTERIOR has 7lb more to carry than when second in this last year but still looks the one to beat as he's the only one to have shown any recent worthwhile form. Athou Du Nord is next best on official ratings but Proud Times may be a bigger danger as he was placed in a non-seller at Plumpton in the autumn and has been toiling on heavy going since.
