      Verdict

      Too Many Questions finally got off the mark at Yarmouth last time but it's hard to see him following-up off a 7lb higher mark. Ginzan could go close again, however, as she beat Festival Dance over C&D recently and has scope for further progress. Dangerous Illusion just failed to land a hat-trick on her latest start and should be thereabouts again, while Warwick winner Delira could make the frame. MINETY LASS didn't fare too badly in better company on her latest start and is given another chance here as she scored under today's useful apprentice at Windsor last month.
