MINELLA VOUCHER (NAP) showed more resolution than Joey Steel when they finished 1-2 over course and distance 11 days ago. They meet on the same terms and there is no reason why the placings should be reversed. D'Jango isn’t running well and Aye Aye Charlie was also last of three last time but Miss Jeanne Moon almost certainly needed her run at Fontwell and should get much closer to eventual runner-up L'Air Du Vent.
