This should go to BURROWS SAINT. Willie Mullins' charge was a useful novice hurdler who had a kind introduction on his chase debut in a stronger race than this. Minellafordollars, Wake Up Early, Connard and Allblak Des Places were well behind that day. Minella Fair rates a big danger judged on his intended Cheltenham entries and a 62L victory on his last start. He has obviously met with some setbacks and there must be a doubt he will be as forward as he will need to be in order to beat the selection.
