        In depth

        Verdict

        SCARLET MINSTREL finished a close-up fourth in a maiden over track and trip last time when up against higher rated opposition than this. He should go close with a similar effort. Kristjano was not beaten far over 1m4f at Wolverhampton though disappointed when favourite over 1m6f on his latest start but Galileano scored over the latter trip at Nottingham back in April and is closely matched on more recent running on the all-weather with Gild Master. Goodby Inheritence was second at Wolverhampton recently but still beaten out of sight.
