Verdict

Chaser Admiral's Sunset may be having a confidence-booster after turning in a shocker last time at Stratford but Ocean Reach seems to have improved a little since teaming up with Harriet Tucker, though has still been beaten in a couple of sellers recently. Never No Trouble will almost certainly run her race again but a record of 1-24 is off-putting so we’ll take chance on the returning MINNIEMUM, who was sent off favourite here back in January and still has time on her side. Happy Index followed up a win at Ludlow in the spring with a second at Fontwell and could also figure if fully wound-up.
