      Verdict

      This could be a close one but we will side with Minaash to be closely chased home by Ishibee and Startolini. The selection is lightly raced with only four runs under his belt. He was in winning form at Lingfield on his penultimate start and can be forgiven his poor performance at Chester last time out as Chester form can often be forgiven due to the sharpness of the track. If putting that disappointment behind him and repeating his previous form then he is worth siding with once more. Ishibee carries twelve pounds less and therefore has to be considered even though she is now eight pounds higher now after his recent Linfield win earlier in the month. She still looks an improving type and is one to note in the market. As is Startolini who after her win at Carlisle was a little disappointing over course and distance last time out so is possibly best watched. So for the winner we return to Minaash.
