Verdict
Minella Voucher finished runner-up again at Market Rasen in May and has now placed on his last six outings. Hoot At Midnight is another regularly in the mix without winning and both look worth taking on. Alright Chief posted his best effort under Rules so far when second at Huntingdon in March but DON HERBAGER showed good progress over fences last season and gets the vote with a conditional taking 5lb off his back on his return to action.
