Verdict
A dual winner on the all-weather, YAA MIN opened his account on turf with last month's comfortable victory over C&D. It was heavy ground on that occasion, so Hayley Burton's charge will likely make another bold bid with underfoot conditions in his favour once again. High Storm also returned the ready winner when scoring over 1m4f at Thirsk. He could prove a danger if lasting home, while Loki and Gone By are not easily ruled out either.
