Verdict

Don't Tell Sue should prove too strong here and is preferred to Hoh Wotanite and Shes Minnie. The selection was good value for his winning margin at Brighton last time when he beat Mozart under a hands and heels ride. He seems to relish this fast ground and he should be capable of defying a penalty to score again. Hoh Wotanite rates the main danger because he ran promisingly when last seen out at Lingfield when second behind Mountain Pass. He will benefit from racing on fast ground and if he is fit enough to do himself justice after being off the track since February then he should go well. Shes Minnie was a fair second behind Terentia at Windsor last time but her best efforts have been over 6f which seems to suit more than the minimum trip. Bathwick Emma is game and consistent and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Don't Tell Sue.
