Verdict

MINELLA SCAMP wasn't beaten far on his final start for Tony Martin in Ireland and, if he's wound up for this return to action, he could get off the mark first time out for new connections. Looksnowtlikebrian ran well on his reappearance at Chepstow, form that looks decent, but this drop back in trip is something of a concern. Alf 'n' Dor isn't reliable bit could go well while Cougar's Gold is also noted on return from a break having won at Cartmel in the summer.
