IRISH MINISTER remains very well treated and was second over 1m4f here on his return to action. He’s placed over 2m on Fibresand so stamina is not an issue and David Thompson’s charge could be the value with Sir Mark Prescott’s three-year-old Pleasure Garden sure to be a warm order after getting off the mark off a 5lb lower mark upped in trip again at Leicester. Feebi only beat Grimsthorpe Castle by three-quarters-of-a-length here last time and the runner-up is much better off at the weights with Nine Elms and the returning Mr Nice Guy possibly best of the rest.
