Verdict

Verdict

Mr Minz sets a clear form standard following a pair of third-placed finishes and he can be on the premises again, but newcomer CRYSTAL DARK makes greater appeal. Ed Bethell's youngster is related to an abundance of winners, including 2023 Nell Gwyn heroine Mammas Girl, so it would come as no surprise were he able to make a successful introduction. Others to note include the Roger Varian-trained debutant Geometry and St Helier, who was fifth over 6f here.

Top Tip: Crystal Dark (2)
Watch out for: Mr Minz (5)
