      Verdict

      SULIS MINERVA is worth sticking with under her 6lb penalty as the handicapper is likely to take a harsh view of her easy three length victory at Ffos Las last week. Jeremy Gask's filly has plenty of weight to carry but this isn't a strong sprint and she can follow-up. Recent Yarmouth winner The Tatling couldn't cope with his rise in the weights at Brighton last time and Spic 'N Span looks a bigger threat having gone close here last Friday. Bateleur drops back to the minimum trip and could make the frame.
