Verdict

MING MASTER was not stopping at Wolverhampton last time and, now stepped up in trip, can do enough to score, with Elvira Magidan and Love Delta among the dangers. The selection has his third start in fairly quick succession, and after being tried over both 6f and 7f, he is now stepped up to what looks a more suitable mile. He stayed on well and was closest at the finish at Dunstall Park, and unless he finds this surface disagreeable he should be tough to beat. Elvira Madigan has also begun life on the racecourse positively and has also had some experience around these tight turns. She is kept to a mile here, although will probably be better over further, but she can't be discounted. Love Delta tries this distance for the first time on what is his debut on an artificial surface. He has a bit to prove on all counts and the market may well be our best guide to his chance and that of debutant stablemate Duellist, who is very well related and could certainly be a force tonight. Sasheen showed improvement from first run to second, both races being over a mile at Lingfield, and she is not passed over lightly, but Ming Master is the suggestion here.
