Verdict

SINISTER MINISTER has run a couple of sound races over 2½m here since switching to fences and gets the nod with the slightly longer trip a potential positive. Last month's C&D scorer Dindin heads the dangers along with Rebel Leader and Ron Burgundy.

  1. SINISTER MINISTER
  2. DINDIN (FR)
  3. REBEL LEADER (IRE)
