Verdict

Themanfrom Minella and Cyclop are recent winners who will once again find conditions to their liking. The latter was going well in this 12 months ago before falling four out and he races from a lower mark this time with his stable in good form. COURT FRONTIER had David Dennis' runner 14L behind when romping home at Huntingdon in the spring and is weighted to confirm the form. Two runs over hurdles should have him ready for this.
  1. Court Frontier
  2. Cyclop
  3. Themanfrom Minella
