Verdict

ONCHAN had his course second last month boosted by the winner earlier in the week and he's an obvious selection to go one better despite the presence of some interesting recruits from points, the most notable of them being Minim Mouse. Minella Royale is entitled to build on his Rules debut, so he's another player.
