Verdict

It's tough to get away from AT POETS CROSS, who was left behind only late on by a rival receiving lots of weight at Lingfield back in February and, provided he's ready to roll, Nicky Henderson's charge should take all the beating. Minella Plus was doing his best work at the finish at Stratford earlier this month so he could provide the main threat, ahead of Fergal O'Brien's newcomer Surtitle.
