Verdict

THE HOLYMAN bounced back to form last time to record his fourth win at the track. He's upped 4lb but won a shade cosily and can go in again. Black Minstrel missed the whole of last year but was sent off odds-on to make a winning return and duly obliged. But he has an 8lb rise to contend with and the three-year-olds Invasor Luck and Grace And Favour make more appeal. Wolverhampton winner Filament Of Gold was tailed off last time while Crystal Pearl didn't appear to stay this longer trip at Newmarket back in May.
