Verdict

This is definitely not the most consistent bunch to have ever been assembled on a racecourse and with doubts about most of the field it not easy to enthuse too much confidence in a selection. However, Minster York did run his best race for a little while last time and if he can repeat the effort he should go close. That said he would not want the ground too testing and may struggle to carry his 7lb penalty for winning a lowly event a Sedgefield last year, if the ground came up soft. Weejumpawud and Monkey Island are both too erratic to seriously recommend and a very reluctant alternative vote goes to Pebble Moon.
