Minella Voucher is well treated nowadays and has placed in his last three, including twice here. It will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line again but Orchestrated is also back on a winning mark and showed a bit more last time at Fontwell. SHATTERED GLASS was a disappointing favourite at Exeter last month but still has time on his side and his yard continues in good form so he gets another chance. Golden Poet is preferred to Leith Hill Lad of the remainder.
