Verdict
Sinister Minister has had another break since second at Worcester in October. Gambie Tiep finished third at the same track shortly after but had a run at Wincanton in January. BERTIE B (NAP) was runner-up at Huntingdon on his handicap debut. He could have done without a 3lb rise but probably has a bit more scope than the likes of Samtara and Kingfast and this won’t take much winning.
