ARTHAMINT made amends for an earlier disqualification after passing the post first at Lingfield with a victory at Warwick on his latest start. Dan Skelton's charge looks capable of better still. Minellaforlunch is getting closer and should go well after a second at Uttoxeter and Guanciale can be given a chance on his recent third at Taunton, though he's been upped 5lb in the weights. Hellorboston and Jack By The Hedge were both well beaten when placed on their latest outings and Pandy Wells is hard to fancy.
