Verdict

This is quite competitive for a seller with a few of these taking a drop in class. Nifty Major doesn't seem as good here as he is at Lingfield, but course and distance winner Henry Tun, may return to form now he is fitted with blinkers for the first time. The in-form Dandy Nicholls, who had a double here on Thursday sets a poser by saddling both Speedy Gee and Tap. Preference is for the former, who will be sharper for his recent outing. Tuscan Dream hasn't raced at this level since 1999 and is sure to run well, but a chance is taken with the maiden Second Minister, who has been something of a disappointment since leaving James Eustace, but this represents his easiest task to date and he should make no mistake.
