Verdict
Mintana is likely to give her supporters a run for their money from on or near the pace, but it's possible that she's most effective over 7f these days. It might be the other way round for PORFIN, whose last two outings have come at that trip but he was in better form over this distance previously and struck under today's jockey over C&D as recently as January. Harry Brown was back in third on that occasion, but is better off at the weights so must be feared.
