Pharpost and Beaver Lodge should go well here but Full Minty looks the least exposed runner in the field and will take all the beating. The selection is lightly-raced and was given a patient ride behind Claymore at Haydock on his last outing back in February. He goes well fresh and should have too much for his rivals here. Pharpost should also go well but will need to improve on his last effort behind Uncle Mick to figure at the finish here. He often travels well in his races but often struggles to find anything off the bridle. Of the rest, Beaver Lodge is a consistent sort but is a bit one-paced, so we are happy to side with Full Minty who looks to be progressing the right way.
