      Verdict

      Minotaur won six times on the Flat in France and has scored over hurdles this year for new connections. He’ll be sharper for a recent outing in this code at Leicester but has to give weight to the younger DOMINATING. Mark Johnston’s charge won over 2m at Ascot earlier in the month and a repeat effort should see him come out best. Suegioo hasn’t won since landing the Chester Cup back in 2014 and the remaining pair have little chance on these terms.
