This is a significant enough ease in grade to give MINSTREL ROYAL the benefit of the doubt and he gets the nod despite being set to carry top weight. He was disappointing last so it may also be worth noting how the betting market reacts to Raleagh Mountain, who is going the right way for his new yard and certainly looks capable of paying his way. Astrum is well handicapped and is feared most from the remainder.
