      Verdict

      Given that the majority of today's opponents are out of form, MINISTRY looks to have a good chance to follow up his recent win over today's trip at Kempton. He's up 9lb for his four-length victory but there should be more to come over the distance. Dan Buoy showed a bit more at Pontefract last week and has dropped to a lenient mark if back to his best, while Barbirolli has won twice over 1m4f here and may appreciate the longer trip. It's hard to make a strong case for any of the remainder, though Resplendent Ace and Simple Jim have the past form to figure.
