Verdict

Armed with a 2lb pull and the benefit of a 2026 run that resulted in a success, DEFENCE MINISTER could well reverse last summer's Sandown placings with seasonal debutant Mudbir (second pick) who nevertheless commands respect with further progress still plausible from him too. Some of the others are also lightly raced 4yos who hold interesting claims, and the suggested third choice is Khafiz, ahead of Storm Free. As one would expect in such a huge field, plenty of runners not mentioned in this shortlist also have clear possibilities.[Steve Boow]
