Interior Minister was hampered at an early stage at Wetherby last time and was never really travelling thereafter. Only a four-year-old, he is capable of better. Florida Quays has been placed at Stratford and Southwell since the turn of the year and may not have stayed when favourite at Taunton last time while Forget And Forgive was third over track and trip in March and may be improving. SUKIYAKI is tried in blinkers and we'll take the chance that Charlie Longsdon's so-far frustrating gelding will finally come good in this as he looked a promising sort in bumpers in Ireland last year.
