Moveit Like Minnie has shown some fairly consistent form over hurdles and in bumper contests, where he has 6 wins from 22 starts. He was switched to fences at the start of this season and after winning on chase debut at Stratford he has since unseated, ran out and ran out in 3 runs making connections quickly send him back over hurdles. He ran a good race last time out at this track and distance when 3rd of 11 staying on well at the end of the race. If in similar form and with a further 3lbs off his back from his apprentice jockey, it is easy to see Moveit Like Minnie being in the thick of the action at the end of the race. Moveit Like Minnie rates a 4 star each way Pick.

Classic King put in a personal best last time out at Doncaster when coming from off the pace to storm clear at the finish from an in-form rival. The 6 lengths winning margin could have been more, so the 5lbs he has gone up in the weights for that win seems resonable enough. Prior to that win, Classic King had been sent chasing this season and having unseated in 2 of his 4 starts connections reverted back to hurdles for his last run. Being 7 years old there is still room for some improvement and providing they go a strong early gallop, Classic King could be in the shake up at the finish. Classic King rates a 4 star each way Pick.
