Verdict

MINNIE HILL can continue the fine form of the Victor Dartnall yard at the principle expense of Daring Approach and Noun De La Thinte. The mare has had some experience of racing on a softer surface so that represents little concern. A 7lb rise for a win at Wincanton does not appear unduly harsh. Daring Approach is having his first run for over a year. If the market speaks in his favour it should not be ignored. Noun De La Thinte ran third under similar conditions at Plumpton and takes on this engagement off the same mark. Sebastiano represents the yard that won this race last season so he has to be worth more than a cursory glance in the market. Lukie Victor has shown regressive form since leaving Jessica Harrington. Plumpton winner, Rosoff is from a yard that can have them ready first time up and has won races at this time of the season in the past. Minnie Hill secures the recommendation in the last.
