Verdict

MY GIFT TO YOU made a mockery of his lowly opening mark starting out for a new yard at Southwell a week ago and, assuming he takes to fences, the follow up looks firmly on the cards. Sinister Minister is fancied to get back on track returned to this C&D, with Lonimoss Bareliere a threat if seeing this trip out.
